• With every breath

  O Lord breathe Thy Spirit on me,
  Teach me how to breathe Thee in,
  Help me pour into Thy bosom
  All my life of self and sin
  
      I am breathing out my sorrow,
      Breathing out my sin;
      I am breathing, breathing, breathing,
      All Thy fulness in.
  
  I am breathing out my own life,
  That I may be filled with Thine;
  Letting go my strength and weakness,
  Breathing in Thy life divine.
  
  Breathing out my sinful nature,
  Thou hast borne it all for me;
  Breathing in Thy cleansing fulness,
  Finding all my life in Thee.
  
  I am breathing out my sorrow,
  On Thy kind and gentle breast;
  Breathing in Thy joy and comfort,
  Breathing in Thy peace and rest.
  
  I am breathing out my sickness,
  Thou hast borne its burden too;
  I am breathing in Thy healing,
  Ever promised, ever new.
  
  I am breathing out my longings
  In Thy listening, loving ear;
  I am breathing in Thy answers,
  Stilling every doubt and fear.
  
  I am breathing every moment,
  Drawing all my life from Thee;
  Breath by breath I live upon Thee,
  Lord, Thy Spirit breathe in me.
