There is a sign on the window,
a building permit is written
of work that has begun;
A construction zone is opened,
restoring our vigor
strength in our heart
We return to our God, our hope,
coming to our Creator, our Savior;
A breathing in of life, our witness,
the spark of the Holy Spirit
into our flesh, our body,
the Spirit’s living vessel.
