Tune: Woodlands
('Tell out my soul')
2 Corinthians 5 v.17-21
*******
Therefore if any one be in Christ, see
They are a new creation, they made free
From old things, for they have now passed away
All things are become new, redemption day
And all things are of God, a way He made
For all to return to Him, Christ has paid
The price to save us, dying on a tree (cross)
Now resurrected, lives eternally
So we reconciled to God by His Son
For God was in Christ, he the Holy One
Reconciling the world unto Himself
Bringing us treasures of His heavenly wealth
Not imputing to us our trespasses (sins)
And committing unto us, even this
The ministry and word that all should be
Reconciled to God, so in harmony
We are ambassadors for Christ, we plead
That you our words, messages, from us heed
That we then might be made the righteousness
Of God in Him (Christ), He comes each one to bless

You got some long words left? I used some in 'reconciliation' (6 syllables!), etc.
How many has that hippo word got?
Miss Berles says it's got six but I think she's a bit Dyslectic which she say's has got four - but she was always one ahead of herself.
