the one in whom we were to believe

explaining to the disciples
who only were baptized by John
the Holy Spirit coming
in the form of Jesus
his blessing, his sacrifice
rising from the tomb
a baptism of Pentecost
into each heart
by the touch of Paul
each one came alive
burning with the fire
flames of Pentecost
setting them to prophecy
speaking in foreign tongues
alive with the fire
nothing could hold them back
