THE PLACE OF REBIRTH
THE PLACE OF REBIRTH
How often do you
PRAY for others?
I do it
MOST every day
And it brings me strength
It brings me ENCOURAGEMENT
To envision ONE WORLD
Where we all pray
For each and every one of us
For one world
A world of SHARING
A world of positivity
For ALL
Today is PENTECOST SUNDAY
And this is what I envision
That the ORIGINAL PENTECOST was
EVERYONE pulling for one another
A sense of ONENESS
A SENSE OF UNITY
“WHEN the day of PENTECOST came
They were all together
In one place
Suddenly-
A sound like the blowing
Of a violent wind
Came from heaven
And FILLED the house
Where they were sitting
They saw what seemed
To be tongues of FIRE
That separated
And came to rest
On each of them
ALL of them were filled
With the Holy Spirit
And began to speak in other tongues
As the SPIRIT enabled them” Acts 2:1-4
A new SPIRITUAL REBIRTH
As it were
For the PEOPLE OF GOD
Wouldn't it be great
IF we had another SPIRITUAL REBIRTH today
In every church-in every TEMPLE-
In every mosque
Wouldn't it be great
If we all felt that SAME ONENESS today
THAT SAME LOVE
And went out with dedication
To spread that love
To every person
In this world
CATCH THE SPIRIT
Spread the love
FIND the place-fill your hearts-
With the REBIRTH OF LOVE
“How good and pleasant it is
WHEN God's people
Live together in unity” Psalm 133:1
“And over all these virtues
PUT ON LOVE
Which binds them all together
IN PERFECT UNITY” Colossians 3:14
Let us find PENTECOST-
In our hearts
Let us find Pentecost
Within our souls
Let us ALL LIVE
With the DIVINE ENERGY OF GOD
Let us all live
With the divine energy of Jesus
Let us SPREAD God's love
God's own spirit to each
And every person that we can
THOSE who gathered
In the UPPER ROOM at Pentecost
Felt the bond as they PRAYED together
Let us pray for a ONENESS
And a UNITY for all
Let us find-THE PLACE OF REBIRTH-
Once again-NOT only in the UPPER ROOM
But DEEP within our hearts
AS WE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
