May we all burn with
fire, like the flames of Pentecost
may we shine like the
Transfigured Christ,
may we glow like Moses
on the mountain
in the presence of our
living God.
May we be ignited, the
flames inside
may we be a candle to
light other fires,
burning within, to
quicken the flame
testifying to Jesus,
why He came.
May we be strangely
warmed like John Wesley;
may we seek to move
from grace to grace to grace
drawing every closer to
the way of Christ,
the way of the cross,
the path to our living God.
May we seek to bring
others to Christ,
to share the message of
our Risen Lord;
and may we strive to
use our gifts and talents
to be the hands and
feet of Christ.
May we be like a candle
of hope igniting other candles,
love to spark other
lives here upon this earth,
sharing love with our
neighbors
as we are called in
this life.
