Reconciliation

(bass, xylophone, harps and piano)

Scriptural Basis: "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things are passed away; behold, new things have come." (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Theological Definition of Reconciliation: We are naturally children of wrath (Eph. 2:3), and are at enmity with God (Eph. 2:11-15); but, "...we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son..." (Rom. 5:10). Because of the death of Jesus, the Christian's relationship with God is changed for the better. We are now able to have fellowship with Him (1 John 1:3) whereas before we could not. So, we are reconciled to Him (Rom. 5:10-11). The problem of sin that separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2) has been addressed and removed in the cross. It was accomplished by God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:18).

Verse 2:

We need a change
Lord we need a change

Oh if I could change
If I could be changed
If I could just

Poem:
To be free
from my inequity
Have struggled to find my way through my own personal wilderness
To find myself lost inside myself
Stumbling in the struggle
But my soul gives a rebuttal
And pronounces my future bright
Lord you are my beacon light
"Therefore if any man is in Christ,
he is a new creature; the old things are passed away;
behold, new things have come."

La, La, La, La, La, La , La
La, La, La, La, La

We need a change

Lord we need a change

Oh if I could change
If I could be changed
If I could just
Change
My ways, My ways….

Oh My, Oh My,
We need a change
Oh My, Oh My
We need a change

A change
A change
not just pocket change
but people change
people can change
I believe it
I receive it
We can change
our ways, Lord, our ways
Always
