Not our own selves,
by the strength of the Spirit alone
empowered to serve,
to be out brother, the Christ
only by the Holy Spirit,
living within us,
adopted, one of God’s family
washed clean, saturated
by the living waters of Christ
the Spirit, waters, coursing within us
new people, a priesthood,
anointed and sent forth
to be Christ in the world
