In the beginning
You breathed life into me
The same way You breathed it into the first man.
And when Your Son came
He breathed His Spirit into me
As only He can.
If only,
If only I could be so close to You,
My God,
That as You breathe out,
I breathe in.
Every breath a fresh filling
From my Father to me;
More of your Spirit dwelling within.
You breathe life with every breath,
And yet with every breath
It seems that I choose death.
How do I end this nightmare?
How do I make this dream end?
Father, bring me to an intimacy
With You that will never end.
To a place where every breath You breathe out
I expectantly breathe in.
Each breath a gift from You
Of fire and wind.
Each breath more of Your Spirit
Dwelling within.
Father, I am broken!
If You are willing
Only You can mend.
Show me what is in the way
So that my sorrow can end.
Breathe into me more of You,
More of Your love and grace,
Make it possible for me to live;
Every moment before Your face.
