In our own native languages – v2

The other believers

those gathered round

hearing the disciples speak

wondering at the sound

The first disciples

those gathered together

speaking in words we could comprehend

speaking in our own languages

The Message of Christ

by the Spirit’s power

cutting through the Babel

to reach each believer

Changing us in that instant

the birthing of the church

by the power of the Word

spoken in our own language
