Praying for their Freedom

A holy wind, a fire,
a prayer for them
flames from heaven
filling the disciples
with God's Holy Spirit
living flames, falling,
flames of freedom
piercing their bodies
their spirits steeled
by the breath of God

A holy wind, a fire,
a prayer for them
imparting power, authority
on the timid followers
able, in an instant,
by the flames of freedom
to speak, to lead, to inspire
to share the life of Christ
His gift of grace
for the whole world
