That Fire Burning

That fire, that Pentecost fire,
burning within them,
authority, power given
Spirit-filled they healed,
in their faith, their belief,
they healed in the name of Christ
The fire shone, burned bright in the Temple,
before the leaders, unable to extinguish
to quiet the flames, the power growing
the numbers of believers growing each day
