Becoming Bold – v2


It was that one pivotal moment
when it all began
when the Word
moved from heavenly sent
to earthly spread
when they were touched
the Spirit, a fire, raging
when the weak became bold
gained their voice, their strength
come out of hiding, to speak truth to power,
to all who would listen, whatever the cost
to tell the world the precious story
of the Christ, sacrificial lamb and Savior;
that urgent truth, for them, that we cling too yet,
commissioned we too as they were
by that same Savior, emboldened too
by that same Spirit, like tongues of fire
upon us resting on our souls, searing the truth
into us, burned into our hearts. We too to share
the Good News, the Gospel of Jesus
to the ends of the earth
