Ignited with Fire – v2

Timid followers, disciples in the Spirit
sharing the words of power, of truth,
hope of the savior, transformed by the Spirit
ignited by the fire of God’s love

Infused with the Spirit’s authority
steeled and changed forever
preaching to the ends of the earth
to Jew and Gentile, to slave and free

All were to hear the Message
of the grace of God
freely given, by flames falling,
alighting on each one of us

and 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.”
