The Fire of the Spirit
the spark of life
the church, born
birthed, in fire
in light
The lamb, Christ
the perfect sacrifice
unblemished, anointed
a fragrant offering
pleasing to God
Christ on the altar
the fire of the cross
taking on our sin
dying for us instead
paying our price
God, the Messiah
drinking the cup of sacrifice
walking the way, obedient
going down into the grave
the place of the dead
Rising to paradise
on the other side
from the pit of the tomb
ascending to heaven
that we may walk with God again
The Fire of the Spirit
the spark of life
the church, born
birthed, in fire
in light
