out of his own authority

Like the best modern preachers
one way to visualize
to attempt to go back
to the beginning, Capernaum
out of the pulpit
alive with fire
singing God’s praise
No notes, no cross-references
filled with God’s praise
Christ’s teaching, holy
out of his own authority
gripping them with power
authentic worship
sharing the Father
the Kingdom come near
