Strangely Warmed

Wesley’s description, his conversion
an appropriate thought on Pentecost morn’

Strangely warmed, so they must have been
flames of fire, resting on them

Changing their ways, the path of their days
the lives evermore, guided by the Spirit

Living within them, their beating hearts
the embers of that day, ever indwelling within

Our days like them, like him, the founders of our faith
the fire of the spirit warming us in our hearts
