What started in Jerusalem
Like an ordinary planet
of an ordinary star
on the edge of the galaxy
Like a tiny Jewish sect
on the fringe of the Roman Empire
Changing the world
with the power burning within
The flames of God
descending on each of us
Calling us to bring his love
to the ends of the earth
