It was a crowd of mixed emotions

That walked back to the room

Steadfastly we set all our minds to prayer

Waiting together with his relatives and friends

Well above a hundred of us there

Some of us he'd healed; some he'd raised up from the dead

Some he'd called as he went walking past

We recounted all the stories, with no detail left unturned

Determined with a will to make it last



Outside in the street, the feast's cacophany began

As crowds from all around the world convened

Flowing upwards to the temple, with their firstfruits in their hands

Unaware of all that we had seen

Dawn turned into daylight, just like all the days before

And again we lifted hands to God in prayer

And though no-one had imagined what the morning held in store

Still all of us felt something in the air



Then faint at first, we heard a sound that slowly grew to more

Like a tempest far away upon the sea

Building higher 'til it filled the house with a thunder and a roar

Like an army's final shout of victory

And right there in the midst of us

From nothing burst a flame

And tongues of fire rose high into the air

Then separating, settled down on each of us the same

And at once the sounds of praise were everywhere



And the flood of joy inside me then was more than I could bear

Like peace and laughter joined into a whole

'Cause the power that came from Jesus that we'd felt for all these years

Was flowing deep and wide within my soul



Praise you, Jesus, for your Holy Spirit

Praise you, Jesus, reigning on the throne

Praise you, Jesus, for the power you've given

Praise and glory unto you alone



Praise you, Jesus, for your Holy Spirit

Praise you, Jesus, reigning on the throne

Praise you, Jesus, for the power you've given

Praise and glory unto you alone



Praise you, Jesus, for your Holy Spirit

Praise you, Jesus, reigning on the throne

Praise you, Jesus, for the power you've given

Praise and glory unto you alone
