Pentecost
Jesus had left them to go to his Father.
How could they do what His love now demands?
They stay in the city the doors locked and barred
to wait for His promise and obey His command.
They wait and they pray, not knowing the outcome.
The building was shaken, a wind blew amongst them,
Then tongues of fire touched them; their hopes were restored
with boldness they went forth, praising their Lord!
The people were baffled
as they heard in their own tongue::
"The Messiah is Jesus,he has risen from the dead,
of this we are witnesses",were the words that they said.
Some mocked their behaviour, but Peter spoke out
The prophet foretold this, it's proof of the truth
that Jesus,the Messiah; who on the cross our sin did take
has now risen and lives having died for our sake.
Repent, be baptised, he said, salvation is free
to all who respond in faith; listen to me!
At Pentecost then, the 'church' was born
as numbers were added and this message goes on.
