Reconciled

 

There is one faith, one hope and one baptism

But we choose division, confusion and schism

In times like these men are self styled

 

But all true believers must become reconciled!

Becoming bridges- not building walls

A house that's divided crumbles and falls

To stand in a world that's bereft and beguiled

We must stand in one spirit and be reconciled!

 

Our love for the brethren should be how we're known

By amazing fellowship we have with our own

So let's love one another- being tender and mild

Conformed to his likeness we'll be reconciled.

 

For a time is coming a terrible day

When hairsplitting differences all fade away

When as one body we're scorned and reviled

In the fellowship of suff'ring we'll be reconciled!
