shouting, proclaiming
the Gospel of love
the timid given voice
seeking, sharing
the one message, Christ
it was that one pivotal moment
when it all began
when the Word
moved from heaven to earth
falling on man
when the weak became bold
gained their voice, their strength
come out of hiding, speak truth to power,
to tell the world the precious story
to all who would listen, whatever the cost
the Christ, sacrificial lamb,
and Savior; that urgent truth
we cling too yet, commissioned as we are
by that same Savior, emboldened too
by that same Spirit, like tongues of fire
resting on our souls, fire,
searing the truth into us.
We too to share, the gospel,
the Good News, the message,
to the ends of the earth
