Waves Crashing Against the Temple

The flames, the truth, the power of the spirit
his holy name, waves crashing against the Temple
shaking the foundation, the people
the witness of the lay people, ordinary men, women
able to perform miracles, to heal
in his name alone, the power of the name of Christ
healing the lame, bringing the sacrifice, the love of God
the witness of the sacrifice, the lamb upon the cross
The risen lord, living within us still,
the indwelling spirit giving us power
to change the world
