Hymn

I wrote this in 2010. The tune?  Hanson Place. (Shall We Gather at the River. . . ) Feel free to try it if you'd like.

Christ Brings Reconciliation (based on Colossians 1:15-20)

Unseen God we see in Jesus
First of all that God has made
All there is, right here in earth and heaven
Through and for him originate

Christ brings reconciliation
Peace and joyous jubilation
Christ brings reconciliation
All are reconciled to God

Christ reigns over all his precious church
And together keeps all things
In the Christ God’s fullness - pleased to dwell
And we worship Christ our king

Christ brings reconciliation
Peace and joyous jubilation
Christ brings reconciliation
All are reconciled to God

Christ brings reconciliation
Peace and joyous jubilation
Christ brings reconciliation
All are reconciled to God

I didn't know this hymn

While looking for hymns that connect with this week's Bible reading from Luke 3:7-18, I found "O Spirit of the Living God" by Henry Hallam Tweedy.  Rev. Tweedy was a Congregationalist minister and a professor at Yale Divinity School.

I love this hymn.  I also love that you can play it on the guitar :)
