By the name of Jesus, so he
healed
standing before the people
So he reported boldly
changing his world
Standing tall, erect
taking in a breath, no
longer trembling
proclaiming to all, to
everyone
to the Rulers of the people
and the elder,
that he had healed
by the name of Jesus
So different, this
Pentecost-filled
this flame-fired Apostle of
Christ
Bearing witness, speaking
boldy
to the power in name of
Jesus
Testifying, full-throated
authority
to the healing power
of the name of Christ
So it was then
so it is now,
healed by Christ’s name
No longer the timid
disciple,
cowering, denying His Master
hiding no longer in the
shadows
outside the courts of power
