Ministry of Reconciliation

II Corinthians 5:17 & 18

Any man be in Christ he is a new creature,
Any old thing is thrown out for the vulture;
Behold that new things are now to replace,
As you stand before Jesus face to face;
All things are of God who has reconciled,
Within us that Jesus Christ has domiciled;
To us a ministry of reconciliation is given,
Inviting others to repent to go to Heaven.
We all have a job to do and for us to share,
Help others to take their souls and repair;
But first we need to think of our very own,
In cleansing us from our sin for to atone;
We must always practice what we preach,
As well as know what the Bible will teach;
Once our own hearts are pure we can say,
Others that you meet reconcile on this day;
Show their faults and how to be born again,
For catching a ride on the Heavenly train;
Let them relax their body as they meditate,
Allowing the Holy Spirit purity to initiate.
