Anointed by the Spirit

Like Christ, like the apostles,
each of us, anointed by the Spirit
commissioned into a priesthood
a servanthood, a fellowship
Walking with our savior, our brother
journeying together, with our brothers, our sisters
all those who walk with Christ
all heirs to his promise,
to the kingdom yet to come
A glimpse of heaven,
the tear in the curtain
a foretaste of that which will be
when we are called into his presence
and hear the same blessing for you and for me
