Everything in common

After Acts 4:32-37

One heart, one soul

shared by all;

ownership of all things

was seen, and known, 

to belong to the One.

And seen by and known by

not just a few, or most, 

but the full number

of the believing. The joy

and jubilation of all

was seasoned by the apostles,

teaching and testifying. And

the church, the full church,

knew together the grace

upon them all.

That no one suffered want

was important;

that all experienced grace

was vital.
