Reconciled

I was so far from your command

I couldn’t hear your voice

And I was backing further off

With every losing choice.

But you still loved me faithfully

And we were reconciled,

Not by my words or by my deeds,

For both were fierce and wild,

But by your blood and by your love

Was I restored to life

And lifted from the world I knew,

A world of fear and strife.

Now, through your love we’re reconciled,

And I’ve a brand new start.

I’ll keep reconciliation

Alive within my heart.

2 Corinthians 5:19-20

18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
