SONG NO.171
JESUS CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVES
EPHESIANS – 4 : 7-16 Jesus Christ measured out us for the free gift, with his loving kindness
When Jesus ascended to high he carried away captives with Jehovah’s mightiness
For the freedom of captives Jesus made himself as a light
Jesus guided captives with wisdom and with insight
Jesus gave them as gifts in human,some as apostles some as prophets and teachers
Some as proclaimers, some as shepherds, with Jesus’ help they are good preachers
Jesus descended to the heavens that he might give fullness to every thing
With Jehovah’s wisdom and power Jesus will make everything perfect as a wise king
With a view to the readjustment of those who are holy
Through preaching Jehovah’s word,Jesus’ congregation will build-up fully
With accurate knowledge in our spiritual sense, we should no longer be babes
We should not be misled by false teaching nor these swept us away with their waves
Now as we have put away falsehood, so each one of us speak truth
Since we are members belonging to one another in the same faith
We are free from captivity and we are not in darkness any more
So we should not spend our lives in falsehood like before
Since through Jesus, Jehovah makes our ways right
Now we should live our lives in Jehovah’s light
