Eyes bulged out of their sockets
Jaws dropped towards the floor
Hands over mouths
Necks stretched upward; heads tilted back
Their brains went dead
Their minds went blank
They looked at each other. It must be a dream
There he was. And there they were still on the ground
Upward he flew like a rocket going to the unknown
Arms stretched forward
He was like the sun shining in its strength
With the clouds closing in on him
He opened his mouth as if to say goodbye
The dumbfounded sea of faces
Made up of sceptics, friends, and bewildered
Hung on to every word they could hear
For the gossips, friends, and sceptics to retell
All powers and authority belong to Me
He was not joking
This time they could not charge him with blasphemy
It was for real
This time He was beyond their reach
The faithful believed him
Took his commission seriously
They waited for the Father’s promise
And went on their assigned mission
To those who believe
He delegated power and authority
To do the works he did on earth
Only to those who believe in his name
That is to you and me.
