rekindle the flame within us

As we remember your coming
coming to Jordan
your submission
to the waters
dying below the surface
rising for a purpose
come to save the world
living and dying, rising
to give us life on earth
rekindle the flame within us
the guiding, the Pentecost flame
burning deeper within us
leading us into the world
