A Community at Pentecost
Virginia Salter

People from all over
find their way to praise
Singing in their hearts
until their voices raise.

Smiles and concerns
echo through the hall
Waiting lives and wills
answering the call.

Expectations running high
of what great work will arise
How the Presence of the Lord
will bring unity, its prize.

Giving to the Spirit
open heart and open mind
His love, will and comfort
unto each other bind.

In the midst of wailing babes
that may echo weary souls
May our sinew that You bless
exemplify and serve Your perfect goal.

May the water that we find
in the message of Your will
Be hot with healing, with truth
Your wondrous promises to fill

May it cleanse our very beings
a new creation the result
That we may go faithfully forward
serving You among the great tumult.

We have come to You today
with great wanting and unity
To receive Your gift of living life
in Your cool, refreshing sea.

May we leave healed and empowered
to bring Your love in word and deed
As we walk away in sweet grace
with Your lambs and sheep to feed.

I love how informative it is! The descriptions in the piece suit it very well.

VAS,

Certainly sounds like Pentecost to me! All joined with one accord and ready to hear and feel the presence of a mighty rushing wind... perhaps the flood gates of revival are soon to be opened as well. This truly is a poem to make the soul shout and praise God. Bob <><
