In the Spirit of Things

(Acts 2)

 

When Pentecost came, they were all
together in the same room.
When a noise came down from heaven,
like a wind sent to consume!

 Then tongues of fire lit on each one,
in different tongues they talked.
Each person heard his own language;
some of the men merely balked.


"They are full of sweet wine," they said.
"
They have to be drunk," said they.
Peter said,
"It is 9 a.m.!
These men have just started their day!
"

God poured out His Spirit on man;
He’ll live here until the end.
And since He lives within our hearts,
we’ll go wherever He sends!
