That Pentecost Sunday in Owo As worshippers assembled For the rain of Holy Spirit Men of the underworld Wielding the tools of their ungodly trade Rained satanic bombs and bullets on innocent congregants And two scores lay dead While many more injured Leaving families devastated Dreams brutally cut short And reign of fear foisted on The hitherto peaceful community All in the name...

Premium Member Pentecost
They gathered in Jerusalem; Together, they would pray. They huddled in the upper room And waited for the Day. It happened at the Feast of Weeks, When Pentecost arrived; A sound like mighty rushing wind: The Spirit came alive. Like fire, it rested on each one: These men, all humble, meek; The Spirit gave them utterance, And they began to speak. From Phrygia, Pamphylia, From Egypt and Cyrene: All...

And the Spirit Danced You were there when the light first shone - You were there when the wind began to blow - And you hovered above the dark earth Then you swept across the face of the empty waters You were there!

Unleashed
Unleashed And now fifty days since Salvation wrought Heavenly Volley overflows their court. Eleven bound in wood, fear, and doubt Only Love can conjure the single way out. Flame descends, incinerates what binds Laps courage in timid heart, soul, and mind. Like their Master they burst their tomb Like their Master, their tomb a new womb. Flames forge within; Love consumes all fear The Good...

Place your trust here in Spirit fire, Embrace wise touch beyond man's mind; Note thus good cheer as Gifts inspire, Taste truth as such where Love designs; Etch a fond peace in actual grace, Calm knows a squeeze of fragrant feel; Old motives cease in poignant trace, Sense a cool breeze that helps hurts heal; Truth shapes beauty not like before. Health comes easy...

Pentecost
When you left us I saw how the clouds parted, rent curtains, as you cleared earth’s drossy smear, and passed into a heaven bright beyond my wildest imagining. Bereft, fearful, we shut tight the door against wolves’ howling and waited for you to keep your promise. At first it was a whisper, the sea-ward wind prying loose our weak walls, but soon the song rose, until its power overwhelmed us with...
