Our God is bursting forth
Our God can never be contained
Our God is bursting forth
Breathe the goodness
Breathe the healing
Breathe the spending
And the sending
Feel the motion
Feel the rhythm
Our God can never be contained
Our God in Jesus, down to earth
Our God in Jesus, eye to eye
Our God in Jesus, down to earth
Our God in Jesus, eye to eye
Contemplation
Proclamation
Conversation
Liberation
And the witness
Of his life
Our God in Jesus, eye to eye
Walking together hand in hand
Walking together side by side
Walking together hand in hand
Walking together side by side
Imagination
Inspiration
Understanding
Transformation
Holy Spirit
New Creation
Our God can never be contained
Our God can never be contained.
The song above that I have chosen for you today was inspired by input presented by Fr Anthony Gittens, a priest of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit. I met him in 2002. The power of the Spirit is alive and active and can breakthrough into the most difficult of places, bring peace, healing and transformation. Come Holy Spirit and enkindle within us the fire of your love.......
On this feast of Pentecost, the Gospel taken from John 20:19-23 has the Risen Jesus appearing before his disciples even though the doors were closed and he breathed on them and they received the gift of the Spirit. Closed doors cannot contain him. He turned their fear and sorrow into joy. The Spirit broke through the defenses of their hearts and transformed them into powerful witnesses of the Good News.
That same Spirit is given to each one of us. We are capable of words and deeds that seem almost beyond us. God through the power of the Spirit chooses to work in and through us.
If we choose to live by the Spirit how can the life and love of God be contained?
Blessings on your week.
