May We Burn – v4

May we all burn like the flames of Pentecost
may we shine like the Transfigured Christ,
May we glow like Moses on the mountain
in the presence of the living God

May we be strangely warmed like John Wesley;
may we seek to move from grace to grace to grace
May we draw 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;
May we strive to use our gifts and talents
to be the hands and feet of Christ

May we be like a candle of hope igniting other candles,
other lives here upon this earth,
May we share love with our neighbors
as we are called to do.
