Here are the lyrics for "Walk in Him (Colossians 2:6-7 ESV)" by Seeds Kids Worship:
Verse
Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord
Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord
Chorus
So walk in him
Rooted and built up in him
And established in the faith
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Just as you were taught
Abounding in thanksgiving
Just as you were taught
Abounding in thanksgiving, abounding in thanksgiving
Turnaround / Ending
Walk in Him
Walk in Him
(The song repeats the Verse, Chorus, and Bridge, often ending with repeats of the Chorus and "Walk in Him.")
This is a direct, upbeat Scripture memory song based exactly on Colossians 2:6-7 (ESV):
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”
It’s from the album Power, Vol. 15 and is designed for kids to memorize and worship with (complete with hand motions in the videos).
So, is not being very grateful a way of showing we Christians are rooted Him?
