NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 3/29

I walked out the back door this morning, Lord,

    and within seconds it hit me:

        I was taking in my first breath of spring!

The sun was shining

   and though it wasn't all that warm

here was something in the air,

    something on the air, so lightly comes

        this gift of spring's first breath...

A freshness filled my lungs,

    a pure, clean whiff of grace!

 

Had I inhaled

    your clear, transparent holiness?

 

Was your breath now, Lord,

    truly one with mine,

your presence in-spiring

    and filling me with grace? 

 

You are the air I breathe,

    you're the wind beneath my wings

and as seasons come and go, Lord,

    you're my first breath every day..

 

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen

O Breathe On Me, O Breath of God

O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love the things you love,
And do what you would do.
 

O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until my will is one with yours
To do and to endure.
 

O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
My will to yours entwine
Until this selfish part of me

Glows with your fire divine.
 

O breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life
Of your eternity.
