May We Burn

May we all burn like the Transfigured Christ,
may we glow like Moses on the mountain
in the presence of the living God
May we burn strangely warmed like John Wesley;
may we seek to move from grace to grace to grace
drawing every closer to the way of Christ,
the way of the cross, the path to our living God;

May we seek to bring others to Christ,
to share the message of our risen Lord;
and may we strive to use our gifts and talents
to be the hands and feet of Christ
here upon this earth,
sharing love with our neighbors
as we are called to do.
