Forever changed, different
these followers of Christ
while he traveled and preached
healed and walked
upon the earth
Empowered by the Holy Spirit
Christ now risen, holy once more
a new body, raised from the dead
breathing upon them
Transformed
Changed in that instant
the disciples reborn,
given power, authority
charged to go and spread his word
Emboldened to tell the world
the message of the Lord
to offer grace and hope
to all who seek
and hunger
all around the world
