Like a Hurricane – v2

Like a hurricane, coming straight for them
a thundering rush of wind, piercing the night
filling the room, alive with the fire
so was the entrance of the Spirit
bringing power for the disciples
to dwell in each beating heart
flames of fire alighting
landing on each one
bringing for them and for us
the birth of the church
emboldening these timid souls
for acts of power, of the message of love
lived out by these men and women
clustered in fear together
now speaking in languages they did not know
spreading the message of Christ
like a raging brushfire
