Ray Boltz's song 'Power To Love' reflects on the early church after Jesus' ascension, when the disciples, though few and facing a hostile world, gathered in prayer and received the Holy Spirit's power. This power enabled them to love boldly, reach out to those in need, and spread the gospel, turning the world upside down. The song emphasizes that through God's love, believers can overcome greed and hatred, and that love is the ultimate conquering force. It draws on the Pentecost narrative and encourages listeners to rely on the Holy Spirit's empowering presence to live out Christ's love.

Their leader was gone now
Their number was few
Left in the world full of hate
They gathered together
And started to pray
All they could do now was wait
That's when the power
Came into the room
Praise started filling the air
Suddenly they were no longer afraid
They felt His love everywhere
It's the power to love
The power to reach out
To someone in need
It's the power to love
The power to conquer
This world full of greed
There is no equal on earth
Below or above
We have the power to love
It spread through the city
And out in the street
A multitude gathered around
The power of heaven
Was filling the earth
It turned the whole world upside down
People were singing
And praising the Lord
Laughter was filling the air
Filled with His glorious
Power and strength
They took His word everywhere
We will never lose
We will conquer through love
