In the last days, when great wonders will occur, says God,
I will pour out my spirit on all people.
On the very first Pentecost, to begin my church, says God,
I will pour out my spirit on all people.
On this Pentecost, in this very church, says God,
I will pour out my spirit on all people.
Your Spirit is here among us, O God.
May we feel the spark of her fire, the rush of her wind.
May our visions and dreams be of justice and mercy for all your creation;
May we prophesy to your vision of a new heaven and a new earth.
Remove our anxious nerves that prevent our calling out your name.
Come, Holy Spirit, come! May you pour out your peace on all your people!
Based on Joel 2:28 and Acts 2
