Lyrics

Therefore let
No one pass judgment on you
In questions of drink and food
Or with regard to
A festival or a new moon
Or a Sabbath day

These are a shadow of things to come
But the substance to Christ belongs

Let no one
Disqualify you, insisting
On asceticism and
And the worship
Of angels, going in detail
About visions

Puffed up without reason by
Reason by his sensuous mind

Not holding fast
To the Head, from whom the body
Nourished, together knit
Through its joints and
Ligaments, grows with a growth from
A growth from God.

If with Christ you died to
The elemental spirits of the world

Why?
As if you were still alive
In the world
Do you submit to regulations—
Why?
—According to human guides
And teachings?

These do appear
As wisdom for their promoting
Self-made religion and
Asceticism; severity to the body,
But they're no use

They don't stop indulgence of
No use in stopping indulgence of the flesh.

Why?
As if you were still alive
In the world
Do you submit to regulations—
Why?
—According to human guides
And teachings?

Why?
As if you were still alive
In the world
Do you submit to regulations—
Why?
—According to human guides
And teachings?
