The glory of God is man fully alive"

Oh, Breath that comes from these lungs.
To make these words into something real.
How I have avoided Your subtlety.
And now I fight for air,
For my breathing patterns fail me.

Crisp air I long to inhale.
Pure, simple truth.
You will expand in my lungs
And push out what is ugly.
I shall exhale You with gladness..

This depth of Breath,
I have imagined You not.
Fullness of Breath teeming.
Up to my throat..
Out of my mouth.

At no time do I run out.
Oh no, I cannot keep You out.
Your breath creates..
This life that reflects Your breath.
Never ceasing.
