Washed with the Spirit

Saturated, washed clean,
filling by the anointing,
the cleansing of the Spirit
filling our cup, our lives
the physical presence of God
within us, that Pentecost fire,
quickening our spirits, our lives
changed forever, made new,
born again, adopted,
entering into the family of God
joining our savior, our brother
carrying our cross, his yoke
sharing his message,
washed with the Spirit
emboldened with its power
