('Fill thou my life, O Lord my God')
Acts 2 v.16-21
************
Peter did explain Joel's words
A prophet he of old
Said, it shall come to pass in last
Days, former days now past
That I will pour out my spirit
On all flesh, lives be lit
Your sons and daughters prophesy
Young men {and women} see visions nigh
And your old men {and women} they shall dream dreams
Revealed by my light's beams
On my servants and my handmaids
My Spirit too displayed
For they shall prophesy, and I
Will show in earth and sky
Wonders in heaven, signs below
To Earth blood, fire, smoke shown
The sun shall be turned to darkness
The moon to blood no less
Before that great and notable
Day of the Lord to all
And it shall come to pass, that who
Shall call on the name true
Of the Lord shall be saved and they
Safe be in judgement day

A rather well known excerpt there my friend that moon to blood thing I mean. I guess it was a rather graphic image that stuck in the mind of many. A good hymn that has to end on that last positive of being safe or everyone would go home and board up their windows. Nicely done Orchi
Thank you SB.
Most welcome Orchi
In one accord! Mighty and rushing and windy🕊️🙏🏻
Thank you A. Or a very 'British' response: 'Bit windy there, what? Tally ho!' lol.
Your poem reflects the prophetic vision of the future, emphasizing the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon all people, leading to divine revelations, signs, and the promise of salvation for those who call upon the Lord.
Thank you F.
Happy new year to you.
Is it Pentecostal festival time or does that come later.
I'm going to make an effort to churchify myself this year. l
Thank you P. Erm, it's 7 weeks after Easter, but we've not got to that yet! Epiphany season starts tomorrow.
Glug job, Orchi! Good job! Wait...P's proclamation is what now? Actually, don't answer that! 😜 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
