Baptized by the Holy Spirit – part 2

The Ascension only joyous
in reflection, in the past
what it must have been for them
thinking they were lost
the Master ascended
they were still here on earth
praying in constant worship
until his promise was fulfilled
Baptized by the Holy Spirit
on the day of Pentecost
the rest of Christ’s promise
redeeming all from the lost
sending us as witnesses
to the ends of the earth
offering the whole world redemption
by the price paid at the cross
