Quotation criteria this song presents words as scripture, so these apply

✓Text-faithful
✓Translation named

Applies to every song the Name held holy · God shown holy · true of God · the standard

✓Reverent treatment

✓ What's good

  • Every word the chord chart prints as lyric is a word of Colossians 2:6-7, in the passage's order, and no word of the passage is left out.
  • The bridge is not added material. It carries the two clauses that close verse 7, so the whole sentence lands before the repeats begin.
  • The version is named on the publisher's own surfaces, all free to open: the chord chart's credit line, the album page's Scripture Version field, and the scripture-reference song list.
  • The words prove the label without help. The chart carries no “ye”, no “stablished”, no “even”, no “therein” and no “thankfulness”, which rules out the KJV, the WEB and the BSB.
  • The sentence's one command opens the chorus, and the three-word turn repeats that opening. What gets sung most is what the passage asks for.
  • The chord chart is free, so a parent can lay it beside a Bible and check the song in a few minutes.

⚠ Cautions

None. This is the standard, met.

Verse Proof

Colossians 2:6-7

The text in BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

“Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”

Colossians 1:1-2 names the writers as Paul and Timothy, and names the readers as believers at Colossae. In 2:1 Paul says he is struggling for these readers, for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met him face to face. The reason for these two verses sits a few lines on either side of them. In 2:4 he says he is writing so that no one will deceive them with smooth talk. In 2:8 he tells them not to be taken captive by philosophy and empty deception built on human tradition. Verses 6 and 7 sit between those two warnings, and they are one sentence. The first half says what already happened to these readers. They received Christ Jesus the Lord. The second half carries the sentence's only command. Keep walking in Him. The letter ends in 4:18 with Paul asking them to remember his chains.

WHAT THE SONG SINGS — Colossians 2:6-7, the whole sentence, in order, ESV, named in the chord chart's credit line and in the publisher's scripture-reference song list

Seeds posts this song's chord chart free, and the chart is the printed record of the words. The whole shape is on one page.

The verse takes the opening of verse 6, up through the naming of Christ Jesus the Lord, across two lines. That block is printed twice in a row. The chorus picks the sentence up at its command, which is the end of verse 6, and carries it through the first two clauses of verse 7, in three lines. The chart then calls for the chorus again. The bridge takes what is left of verse 7. It prints the clause about being taught and then the clause about thanksgiving, gives the pair a second time, and doubles the thanksgiving clause at the close. A section the chart labels “Turn” is three words long. They are the chorus's opening line without its first word, printed twice. After that the chart calls for the verse, the chorus, the bridge, the chorus twice and the turn twice.

Every word printed as lyric on the chart was checked against the ESV of Colossians 2:6-7, word by word. Every one of them is a word of the passage. No word of the passage is missing from the chart. Every word printed as lyric on the chart comes from the passage. The rest of the page is chords, section labels, repeat directions, the title line, and the credit and copyright lines.

The bridge is worth naming on its own. It is not the writer's own material. It is the ending of verse 7.

Nothing shifted. The sentence arrives whole and in the order the passage gives it. Every repeated section is built from words the passage already supplied. The label can be tested, because English Bibles do not agree here. Four of them were compared with the chart's printed words. The KJV uses “ye” twice in verse 6. The chart has no “ye”. The KJV reads “stablished” in verse 7, where the ESV and the WEB read “established”. The chart has “established”. Where the ESV reads “just as you were taught”, the WEB reads “even as”. The chart has “just”, and no “even”. At the close, the WEB adds “in it”, the KJV reads “therein” and “with”, and the BSB reads “overflowing” and “thankfulness”. The chart has none of those words. Verse 6 also opens differently: the ESV begins “Therefore, as”, and the WEB begins “As therefore”. The chart's first line runs in the ESV's order. The chart says the same thing in plain print at the foot of both of its pages. Its credit line names Ben Houser and Jason Houser, 2019, Seeds Family Worship Music (ASCAP). Under that it names the English Standard Version, Crossway, and the 2007 text edition. (The text shown above is BSB, because this site quotes freely usable translations. The song sets the ESV, so the words above are not the words on the chart — that difference is the point of the comparison below.)

✓ Word-for-Word Verified: Every word the chord chart prints as lyric is a word of Colossians 2:6-7, in order, with nothing added. No word of the passage is missing. The chart's own credit line names the ESV and its 2007 text edition. The publisher's scripture index tags the song ESV too.
The sentence has one command in it. The song put it at the head of the chorus.

Why it matters

Two things here are worth a parent's minute.

The first is that the label can be checked for free. Seeds posts the chord chart as a PDF with the words printed on it. The credit line on that page names the version. Nobody has to take the publisher's word for it, and nobody has to buy the album first.

The second is what the sentence is doing. Colossians 2:6-7 has one command in it, and the command is to keep walking in Him. Everything else in the sentence either says what already happened or describes the walking. This song gives that command the chorus. So the part a child sings most is the part Paul asked for.

Is it safe to dwell on?

Sung on repeat, this song moves between God and the singer.

Repetition here plants a command, not a feeling. The chorus repeats, and the three-word turn repeats its opening, so the words a child ends up carrying are the words that tell them to keep walking in Him.

The centre of attention reads as mixed on an honest count. The passage has six clauses, and every one of them is about the person singing. What they received, what they are told to do, what they are to be. Christ is named or pointed at in three of the six: the receiving, the walking in Him, and the being rooted and built up in Him. The last three do not name Him. So every clause is about the singer, and half of them point at Christ.

There is one thing the song does not plant, and it is the next sentence. Colossians 2:8 warns about being taken captive by philosophy and empty deception built on human tradition. That warning is what the walking in verse 6 is set against. Colossians 3:16 asks that the word dwell in us richly as we sing. Sing the sentence. Then read the one after it.

Helpful comparison

This is the second track on Power, and two of its neighbours are already on this site. “Citizens Of Heaven” is track 4 and “The Victory” is track 5. The album page prints one Scripture Version field for the whole record, and it reads ESV.

The album name is worth a careful look, because Seeds has two that sound alike. Their FAQ says the majority of their songs are based on the ESV, and that their first five albums use an earlier NIV. It names those five: Courage, Faith, Praise, Purpose and Power of Encouragement. Power is not one of them. The Seeds music catalogue lists “The Power of Encouragement” and “Power” as separate albums, with eight other album headings sitting between the two, counted from that page's own headings.

The version is not named everywhere. The upload on the Seeds Kids Worship channel is titled “Colossians 2:6-7 - Walk in Him”, and neither that title nor the description under it contains the letters ESV. The album page's own track listing prints “Walk In Him (Colossians 2:6-7)” without them as well. ESV appears on the chord chart's credit line, in the album page's Scripture Version field, in the publisher's scripture-reference song list, and in the streaming track title. It is not on the page most people will land on first.

Three dates sit in the record and they are not the same. The chord chart's copyright line reads 2019. The album page's structured data is dated 6 October 2020. The video went up on the Seeds Kids Worship channel on 31 December 2020. Two run times differ too: the album page gives the track as 2:32, and YouTube's own metadata for the upload gives 155 seconds.

The word-for-word language comes from two different places, and they are worth keeping apart. WorshipHouse Kids, a licensed store, describes this video as “Word for Word Scripture taken from Colossians 2:6-7.” That is the store's sentence. Seeds' own About page carries the heading “Word-For-Word Scripture Songs And Videos For Kids”, which is a statement about the catalogue rather than about this track. The finding above rests on neither of them. It rests on the chart.
