Everyday People – v2

They were everyday people,
men like Peter and John
with fears, doubts,
timid men, fishermen
Taken from the sea by the Lord
walking the land with their teacher
walking with the Lord

Hidden away until Pentecost
speaking with power, with authority
worshiping, praying together
leading the flock

Healing in the name of Jesus
by his name alone
making the lame walk
Powerful witness,
to the hand of God
resting on these ordinary people
What will the leaders do?

changing the spelling from “worshipped” to “worshiped”,
because Blogger and Twitter said “worshipped” is a misspelling.
