Our lives are burning, alive
fired from within, the
Spirit,
the conviction of our
spirits;
The flames of Pentecost
living
within each one of us
Our lives are a living
Pentecost
afire in the Spirit’s
calling, leading,
carrying on our Master’s
work
going as He was sent, further,
until the whole world has
heard
The grace of our Creator
given as the one perfect
offering
the sacrifice of the Lamb
the gentle guiding, leading
of the Spirit living in man
All of us are made worthy
not by our works but by
grace
made clean by Christ’s
sacrifice;
We are 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.”
