I ask for filling–why–
Receiving power on high…
Flaming tongues
For holy ones,
To do and self to die.
–
Flaming tongues on the Seventy
Elders with Moses to remedy..
His over-reach
Ministering to each,
Israelite in his integrity.
–
Tongues came onto one-twenty
Disciples of Christ–plenty–
To take His Word
Of salvation unfurled,
Unto many and many!
–
Elijah and god’s prophets saw
God’s fire filled with awe…
Burn offerings
And revelings
Filled with rebellious flaw.
–
This holy God I would serve,
Not with my own nerve…
Perilous times
As gold is refined,
I need Holy Spirit verve!
–
Long ago in college
I reached out and experienced Knowledge…
Fill me again
Oh Lord begin,
To pour into me, Thee I acknowledge!
