The Outpouring




The Outpouring

Row by row a sea of heads
Wall to wall they stand,
Swarming in to seek the Lord...
The resurrected from the dead.
 
Guided by the Spirit
They've come to find the light,
And discovered now a beacon
Shining in the night.
 
Slain bodies at the altar,
Some prostrate or kneeling down...
Worshipping the Savior
In the new life they have found.
 
Angelic music fills the air
And messages in tongues...
Glorious exaltation
In the new words that are sung.
 
God's pouring out His Spirit,
All are bathing in the Oil,
Drinking of the New Wine
And relishing the spoils!
 
Broken bodies now are being healed,
The crippled no longer lame...
Those who have been suffering
At last are free from pain.
 
Emotional burdens lifted,
Tears of joy fill every eye
For the Father's throne is reached
He has heard His children's cries.
 
Come now, all is ready,
Get underneath the spout...
For the Promise of the Father
Right now is pouring out!

Acts 2:1-4

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
