I Came to Restore Order to a Broken Creation

It's Morning, Jesus
We were designed in covenantal relationship with God
to live in symphonic harmony with Him and all creation.
God gave the musical score that would give Him glory
He gave us our bodies as instruments and gave each of us the notes to play.
Yet, we tore up the score
There is no harmony in the world, as each insists on playing his own tune.
We desperately need a conductor if we are to play the right notesagain.

You have come back to creation, Lord God, in Jesus
Who is both composer and conductor.
You want to change the ugly disorder of our lives and our world
into the beautiful music they were designed to make:
a symphony of praise to the Creator.

You, yourself, played that perfect music as you lived in perfect submission
to God the Father.
In your death, you made it possible for us to return to God's orchestra
despite the way we have treated Him. Then, by your resurrection, you
were established as the eternal conductor.
As we take our lead from you, Lord Jesus,
We find our proper place in God's world once more.
Following you, our lives will make sense and will begin to produce beautiful music again, brining praise to God.

We confess, Lord, that we your followers still produce many discordant notes.
We still disobey you.
We still miss the note.
We tire.
We stop listening.
We rest in the wrong places.
We go off on our own with our instruments

In you, the Kingdom has come
and yet it has not come in its fullness
It is already, but not yet.

Glory be to your name as I live in the kingdom, today.
Amen
