Imprison Every Thought In Obedience
Take time in due consideration
of all that fills your mind
to look intently inside that matter
fully looking for much there to find
Live by high and lofty principles
bowing to God's perfect holy will
bringing everything before Christ alone
submit in reverence stand forever still
Make your standard equally God like
be as Jesus was here on earth
holding forth scriptural truth to the letter
displaying fruit born from new birth
Take every thought under Christ's word
make sure your obedience truly in line
with that divine inerrant eternal truth
holding it captive to God's ink filled sign
So imprison your every thought
capture it under the sovereign hand
righteous it must be altogether
make it pleasing for heaven's land
('Take every thought captive to obey Christ' 2 Corinthians 10: 5b)
