Like plum popcorn kernels
the lilac blossoms burst into bloom
the plum giving way,
exposing the softer,
pastel light lilac within
opening in the sun
its fragrance
filling the yard

Baptized by Fire
Not by water, not by blood,
not by a dove descending from heaven
they were baptized by a heavenly fire
not a refining fire, a trial by fire
an anointing fire, enabling each one
to speak with power, with boldness
empowered by the living spirit
to be Christ’s messengers of love

Timid Messengers
in the flames emboldened
timid, tentative,
doubting messengers
empowered, given voice
in the tongues of fire,
the non-consuming,
the living flames
dancing in their midst
burning fire transforming
their spirits
the Holy Spirit of God
commissioning the pilgrims,
shepherds now, bringing
the master’s voice
to the wayward flock
offering Christ to the world

Born by Fire
A church, our church, the body of Christ
born by the fire of Pentecost
on that day created, ministers commissioned
and missionaries sent, in an instant of fire
the flames wrapping around, touching each one of them
imparting voice and power, a boldness they had never know
certainty of the message, finally with words to share
to fight to be heard, to overturn
the scales, the balance of authority
To speak the truth of Christ’s coming

Acts 2:1-4, The Message
On Pentecost
The disciples, the followers
praying, hiding alone, cloistered
hidden in the upper room, set apart
waiting, for what they did not know
a promise from Christ to be revealed
A flash of light of sound of motion
roaring wind and fire of the spirit
swirling, rushing, churning, spinning around them
forever changed, the whole of our history,
a church born in that instant,
men speaking in tongues they do not know
able to reach others, others from distant lands
able to proclaim, with power, with authority
Timid no more, on Pentecost reborn
messengers for the king
to the ends of the earth

We timid, fearful followers;
but he knew more of the story
the power of Pentecost, transforming
changing believers into leaders,
hearing the message of God’s love
and the salvation of the savior
feeling the fire of God’s endless love
boundless and without merit
loving us while we are yet sinners

Like a Wildfire
Like a wildfire, fast moving brush fire
the tongues of fire, the spirit
rushing through their midst,
touching, changing each one of them

the roar of the holy spirit falling down,

Ignited with Fire
Timid followers, disciples in the spirit
sharing the words of power, of truth,
hope of the savior, transformed by the spirit
ignited by the fire of God’s love
infused with the spirit’s authority
steeled and changed forever
preaching to the ends of the earth
to Jew and Gentile, slave and free
All were to hear the message
of the grace of God
freely given, as if by flames
alighting on each one of us

The spirit the actor, we the vessels
the skin of our flesh, the gloves of the spirit
touching lives, changing hearts
offering hope, all to God’s glory
Merely the gloves holding our neighbors
the spirit moving in us

touching lives, changing hearts
offering hope, all to God’s glory
Merely the gloves holding our neighbors
the spirit moving in us

The glove cannot do anything by itself, but when my hand is in it, it
can do many things. True, it is not the
glove, but my hand in the glove that acts.
We are gloves. It is the Holy

We have to make room for the hand so that every finger is filled.”

The Message of Creation
In every part of creation,
the message to those who would hear
the love of the creator, the means of grace
swirling all around us,
as if we were standing inside
a cotton candy maker
the world, the whole of creation
singing a song of praise for
the God who made us all
conjured from the nothingness
and bound together
ordered and wondrous
beyond our imaginations
A message of love shared each day,
each moment of life
spoken without mouths
voices in unison speaking
to those who would hear
the message to those who would hear
the love of the creator, the means of grace
swirling all around us,
as if we were standing inside
a cotton candy maker
the world, the whole of creation
singing a song of praise for
the God who made us all
conjured from the nothingness
and bound together
ordered and wondrous
beyond our imaginations
A message of love shared each day,

spoken without mouths
voices in unison speaking

The sunset shouted the other night
the glory of God
the lilies of the valley whispered this morning
the glory of God
the pollen on the breeze mused yesterday
the glory of God
the stars chirped endlessly

the spring proclaims each year
the glory of God

the glory of God
All of creation, reveals

The Words of Creation
God of creation, speak your words
to me through your world
let me hear your voice in the heavens
in the earth, the seas, in all that dwell,
all that live, all that exist within your creation
Let me hear the glory of you,
shouted by the mountains,
sung by the wind,
preached by the plants,
written by the animals,
witnessed to by the grains of sand
proclaimed by every star in the sky,
beyond my vision, my ability to perceive
Share your love in the voice of creation
for all to see, to know your grace
and feel your loving presence

The Voice of Creation
The eye and the ear, all the senses
hear the voice of creation
the glory of God revealed,
speaking where mouths do not exist
the word of God written in everything,
every thing on the earth, in the seas,
in the heavens above
Speaking of the creator,
of the awesome power
the intricate precision
the boundless beauty
proclaiming the glory of God
revealed in his handiwork
