Christ’s ascension
his earthy body
getting out of the way
for the Spirit’s power
to descend on that day
fulfilling His promise
the promise of the living God
to be with us always
to the end of the age
Only with the ascension
would the coming Pentecost
be full of the fire and passion
the Spirit’s coming
in mighty power and love
