Fired with the Flames of Pentecost – v2

Fired with the flames of Pentecost
God’s Spirit burning within us;
Guiding us out into the world
the shared His message of love.
To the ends of the earth
until all have heard;
Christ bring us back to God
when we will accept this word.
Freed from condemnation
eternal death no more;
Brought back to His loving arms
by the grace of God.

quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,
“I have a glove here in my hand.  The glove cannot do anything by itself, but when my hand is in it, it can do many things.  True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that acts.  We are gloves.  It is the Holy Spirit in us who is the hand, who does the job.  We have to make room for the hand so that every finger is filled.”
