The poem, inspired by Colossians 1:21-22 (KJV), summarizes the transformation of humanity from alienation to reconciliation with God through Christ’s sacrifice. It describes how people, once lost in sin and enmity, are redeemed by the cross, where Christ’s death paid their debt. This act of love restores them, making them holy, unblameable, and unreproveable in God’s sight. The poem emphasizes grace, purity, and eternal peace, highlighting the shift from wrath to righteousness through divine mercy.

Colossians 1:21-22 (KJV)
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Once lost in shadows, hearts astray,
Enemies of light, in sin’s dark sway.
Yet through His cross, the debt was paid,
In love’s embrace, our guilt did fade.

Now holy called, by grace made whole,
Unblameable, pure within the soul.
Unreproveable, in His sight we stand,
Redeemed, restored, by His mighty hand.

From wrath to peace, His mercy flows,
In Christ, our righteousness forever grows.
