Acting on their faith
victory in Jesus
changed by the Spirit
proclaiming the good news
All of us like the first of them
no longer timid
needing to shout from the rooftops
Christ is risen!
Changed forever
needing to act like shepherds
fields ready for harvest
needing to be tended
Declaring boldly
acting without doubt
a message to save the world
Jesus died for us
