BREATH OF THE SPIRIT
Your wind blows through my soul
O Lord, rustling leaves of budding
Trees where the river flows, green
Grass grows, your Spirit breathed
On me, I've been set free from sin
And death, as I became new, you
Came inside to reside, I drank the
Wine, ate the bread....got my soul
Fed, as the old has passed away,
The new has come to stay, you've
Built a home in me, I'm free, I will
Joyously survive, no traces of lies,
Just give me more of you and less
Of me, help me clearly see, even on
Cloudy days....because of who you
Are and who's I'll forever be. Yours!!
