Reconciliation

A little a cappella number from a Taize 12 song challenge. It's roughly in the key of A but you can pitch it wherever feels most comfortable for congregation and harmonisers. The video is when I taught it to a small Sunday evening worship meeting. Lyrics in French are also included and a recording of the French version is available on request.

Reading the story of the Prodigal Son, I was struck by how the father hugged his son and gave him a coat, a robe. He restored his status, clothed him. Suddenly I was reminded of the soldiers who took away the robe of Jesus, God’s Son, when He was crucified. They cast lots to decide whose it would be. Jesus laid down His robe, His authority, His dignity, His status, for me to be clothed with garments of salvation and wrapped in a robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10). I was so amazed that I wrote this song.
