Be reconciled to God

Be reconciled to God.

This is our Savior's call: 

Bear witness to the saving grace

Of One who died for all.

 

Creation now made new!

This is our Master's call: 

Bear witness to the new-made life

Where sin cannot enthrall.

 

Ambassadors for Christ:

This is the Spirit's call. 

Bear witness to the love of God

For all things great and small.

 

The righteousness of God:

This is our godly call.

Bear witness to the living Christ

Who will not let us fall. 

 

Be reconciled to God.

This is our life's true call: 

Bear witness to the saving grace

Of Christ who died for all.

 

 

 

TEXT: Charles Spence Freeman, March 2022 (after 2 Corinthians 5:16-21)

MUSIC: Tune FESTAL SONG, William H. Walter, 1894. 

 

 

I've had this passage engraved on my brain ever since being a "Royal Ambassador" as a boy (some of you might know what that means).
