No fire in their eyes

only the water
the repenting, dying
under the waters
with Christ in the grave
No fire in their eyes
the mark of the Spirit
God in their lives
changing them, sending
the flames burning
their lives afire
filled with God’s love
his burning desire
set alight
burning brightly
in the dark of night
