That perhaps Paul saying "the word of Christ" is not our word about, or regarding Christ, but rather Christ's word about, or regarding His Father? That it really is the Son, in the midst of the assembly of the redeemed, speaking and singing words of praise to His Father and our Father, to His God and our God(Heb. 2:12; John 20:17)?

Look at Psalm 86 for example. It gets one footnote from Lee. "David is trying to save himself. But God is after something bigger than David. God is after Christ". Lee doesn't say David's prayer is vain, but he implies it.
But just put that prayer into the mouth of the man Jesus. Who was faithful, and trusted in God (v.2)? Jesus. Who cried in distress and got answered (v.7)? Jesus. Who knew the ways of Jehovah; who had an undivided heart; who feared the Father's name (v. 11)? The man Jesus.
Enough said. I could go on, verse by verse. But the point is that arguably Jesus Christ is quite present in Psalm 86. Lee ignores the possibility.
