Colossians 2:6

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:”

King James Version (KJV)


Based on Colossians 2:6, “walking in Christ” means living out the reality that you have received Jesus Christ as Lord, and this walk is described in Colossians 1:10-12 as a lifestyle of bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with God’s power for endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father. The song “O To Be Like Jesus” (based on Colossians 2:6-7) reflects and applies these truths, showing that walking in Christ involves being firmly rooted in Him, strengthened in faith, growing in truth, overflowing with thanks, enduring to the end, never going astray, and continually following and obeying Jesus as a heartfelt aspiration rather than a mere duty. 


Here are the lyrics:


Since we have received

Jesus Christ as Lord

We must walk in Him

We must be conformed

We are firmly rooted

Strengthened in our faith

Growing in the truth we

Overflow with thanks!

O to be like Jesus

To always walk in Him

O to be like Jesus

Enduring to the end

Since we have received

Jesus Christ as Lord

We will walk in Him

We will be conformed

We are firmly rooted

Strengthened in our faith

Growing in the truth we

Overflow with thanks!

O to be like Jesus

To always walk in Him

O to be like Jesus

Enduring to the end

O to be like Jesus

To never go astray

O to be like Jesus

To follow and obey

–"O To Be Like Jesus (2:6-7)" by Our Pilgrim Songs (from the album Colossians: Walk in Christ, based on Colossians 2:6-7).
