Our lives burning
fired from within, the
Spirit
the conviction of our
spirits
the flames of Pentecost
living
within each one of us
Our lives a living Pentecost
afire in the Spirit
carrying on our Master’s
work
going as He was sent
until the whole world has
heard
The grace of our Creator
the one perfect offering
the sacrifice of the Lamb
the gentle guiding
of the Spirit living in man
All of us worthy
not by our works but by
grace
made clean by His sacrifice
able to come before the Lord
when our work here is done

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.”
