beloved of God, children,
brothers and sisters with Christ, with one another
sharing in the cleansing, in the changing
our lives no longer our own
Becoming one with the church
the Spirit falling upon us
indwelling within our hearts
forever changed, as when David was anointed,
when Paul fell blind on the Damascus Road
when Christ revealed himself to Cleopas and the other
and when the Spirit fell on Pentecost
Bodily, into the waters with Christ
up from the waters in praise
to grow and serve with him
to spread the Good News
to the ends of the earth
