Pentecost Hallelujah! words by Don Stott don@eliab.com May 1. 2022
Based on Acts 1&2
He’d suffered on a cross and died
But rose again all were surprised
Now Jesus is alive, his friends bore witness
For forty days Christ taught them all
Prepare yourselves ‘await God’s call
Get ready for the gift my father promised.’
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Will God’s kingdom be restored?
The crowd round Jesus now implored
“It’s not for you to know the times and seasons
But wait and see his authority
The powerful Spirit will set you free
And you will share God’s news to many nations.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The day of Pentecost had come
In a crowded house, an expectant hum
The believers prayed and gave God all the glory
Suddenly a deafening sound
Wind and fire, tongues all around
Cries of praise and shouts of Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Pentecost pilgrims gathered nigh
Heard strange sounds and wondered why?
Confounding chatter, dazed and seeking reason
Peter stood and told them all
‘It’s not from wine, they’ve heard God’s call
God’s Holy Spirit gift has come to you!’
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Three thousand found their hearts were stirred
Baptised, rejoiced at what they’ve heard
Full on awe with many signs and wonders
Holy Spirit light life’s flame
Let love spread, now all proclaim
Praise and glory, worship hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
