Joy Talavera spoke about the vision of Every Nation

Focusing on “Christ-centred” as a core foundation

Using Colossians one verses fifteen to twenty three

Several attributes about Christ were evident to see

#dropthemic is a performance completely definitive

That describes Jesus all the time, perfect He did live

Christ is the image of the invisible God, Paul did say

So He is the beginning and the end, including today

Because in things that are material, Jesus cannot be

If possessions take priority for us, trouble we will see

By, through, and for Christ all things were created

So He is the centre of everything, Joy then stated

Since Jesus knows everything that is in our heart

We should follow Him, from His path not depart

He is before all things and holds them all together

He can help us through even the roughest weather

And since he is pre-eminent for the entire universe

So not thanking him upon waking would be perverse

God’s fullness dwells in Jesus, per verse nineteen

So is Jesus with us permanently or only rarely seen?

If we let Christ into our lives, He brings real peace

And with such peace, our joy and love will increase

Between ourselves and God, Jesus bridges the gap 

To be reconciled with God we do not need a map

For only Jesus Christ can make us holy and blameless

More than anything we do, He pulls us from the mess

Being Christ-centred allows Christ to keep us centred

Putting an end to sinfulness that into us had entered
