speak the power of God

#speak the #power of #God
confess His mighty acts,
we are merely conduits
reflecting His #light

hands and feet of the #Almighty
His voice for #justice;
but only acting in #love
through gifts God has given

Our rebirth – v10

Our rebirth from the waters, rising,

the baptism of fire walking differently,

with Him, filled by the Spirit of Christ

Our rebirth, transformation

filled with the gift of the Spirit

burning, a fire kindled within us

wanting to burn out of control

wanting us to serve joyfully

where God would send us

going with a blessing

out into the world
