Sharing the Same Fire – v2

Leading us onward
out into the world,
All of us are to witness
to carry Christ’s word

All of us are to go
to share the same fire,
The light is here to save us
to save the whole world

Flames of the Fire – v3

Flames burning ever
the Spirit indwelling
sharing with us
flames of the fire
the light of Christ.

Love burning ever
the Spirit indwelling
the saints with us still
ablaze together
in the heavenly light.

Sharing Christ, Jesus,
the Spirit indwelling
in remembering them too
those who have led us to You
in their journey of faith.

Those who have gone before us
the Spirit indwelling within them
leading the way forward,
sharing the grace of Christ
in their walk each day.

Forever May They Burn - v2

Our candles burning
brightly in the light;
Not hidden under covers
up on the mountaintops.

Sharing with others
the flames together shining;
Brightly sharing, ever
until the whole world is alight.

A Clay Pot Empty – v3

Happy in my emptiness
pouring out the world
my selfishness, my control;
A clay pot empty, ready,
to be filled with the Lord

His love raining down
filling my empty cup;
my body turned over
so that I may be poured out,
that other may be filled

Sharing as we are led
as we have been gifted;
We are filled with God’s living waters
pouring out our blessings
calming the troubled seas

A balm we can offer
the message of salvation;
the Spirit burning within us
offering grace and mercy,
that all may come to believe.

One Candle Lighting Another – v2

Shining together
each one brighter
shining together,
creating a brush fire

Empowering each other
witnesses together
offering freely,
the gifts of our lives

Born of the one light
the rising of Christ
shining brightly,
in this earth, the dark

Together burning
ever brighter yet
together shining,
so the whole world may live

In the Gathered Flames – v2

A piece of Christ’s love
the beating Spirit
the fire of Pentecost
in the gathered flames upon us

A spark of God’s grace
burning before us
quickening our hearts
as each name was read

Our saints glowing
burning brightly, ablaze
the light of their faith
shining upon us

Gathered together
here, in worship,
coming before God
in this holy place

All of us part, a candle
of the single flame
the love of God here
shining in our midst

The fire burning brighter
when we share with our neighbors
the love of God with others
like seeds scattered richly

Into fertile soil
the blessing increasing
sharing God’s message with them
to the ends of the earth

Sit with Jesus – v4


Sit with Jesus
as Samuel did
at the feet of his master
being taught the word

Sit with Jesus
our High Priest, our master
to be taught, the truth
to share God’s love

Sit with Jesus
linger, focused, like Mary
centered on his words
the message from God

Sit with Jesus
become a disciple
the Master speaking
calling us to go, to serve

hearing his message
our example, our model
the light which we keep
