[Opening Build] One accord in one place. Morning of the feast. Suddenly a rushing wind Filled the house from west to east. Cloven tongues like living flame Rested over every head. The Holy Ghost filled every witness; Languages awakened when they spoke. [Chorus] Tongues of fire, Every nation heard its own. Tongues of fire, Heaven's mighty works made known. Parthian, Mede, and Roman, Arab, Cretan, near and far: Tongues of fire Turned one upper room into a world-spanning spark. [Verse 2] Some mocked and called them drunken; Peter stood with the eleven: "This fulfills the prophet's promise, Spirit poured from highest heaven." He preached the crucified and risen, David's Son exalted high. The hearers felt the word cut through them: "What shall we do?" became their cry. [Refrain] Repent and be baptized. Receive the promised gift. The word belongs to children And to all whom God shall call. [Final Chorus] Three thousand souls received the saying, Bread was broken, prayers arose. Teaching, fellowship, shared provision, Grace in every house and road. Tongues of fire, A people born beneath one Lord; Day by day the church was added Through the Spirit and the word.
