Receiving the Spirit,
entering into them,
into their hearts, their bodies,
transformed, made complete
the baptism of Christ
more than water alone,
cleansing them of sin,
more powerful, more awesome,
commissioned now, to serve,
to speak to the people
in words they may understand
different now, after the Spirit
melting into them
Living now as a child of God
With Christ given a ministry
a mission, to spread his good news
to be Christ for their community
to bear witness to the Spirit
living within them, changing them
empowering them for service
