From the Upper Room,
into the Temple
The fire spreading
the flames growing,
building, new wood, new
disciples added
power and authority, in
Christ’s name
given, used by emboldened,
ordinary people
changing the order, the rule
of law
in their time, in their place
moving the foundations, the
pilings
the stones shaking
the fire spreading still
around the world
a groundswell, a brushfire
raging
smoldering when beaten back
never extinguished, always
growing
spreading His love, His
truth, His mighty name
to the ends of the earth
