In the power of God’s own Spirit
Jesus entered Galilee;
With a fire divine aflame,
Unto Nazareth he came;
Bade his people hear the scripture:
‘God’s anointing Spirit is on me’.
‘God has sent me’, said the prophet,
‘With good news the poor to cheer,
News that captives will be free,
News that eyes now blind will see,
Health for hearts all bruised and broken;
God’s own year of favour now is here’.
‘True this very day’, said Jesus,
‘This the task I must fulfil’.
Forth he went, and through the land
Moved with liberating hand.
Even though men crucified him,
God’s unconquered love
shone through him still.
Lord, you tell us by your Spirit,
We all need this news today.
May our faith and service show
All the gifts that you bestow—
Joy and health and freedom giving,
Lord, from you, the Life,
the Truth, the Way.
