A Psalm

The breath of God sweeps across the deep
Encircling all that I am
My soul yields like a flower to the sun
Oh God, breath in me the breath of life
Let your river flow through this earth
That I may bear fruit of righteousness
And in your presence, forever dwell

For thou art the Lord, the only God
Who rules beside thee?
Your word consumes me like a blazing fire
Can anything stand before thee?
Surely, your truth hath set me free
Yet, bind me dear Lord
Make me a prisoner of thy love
And keep me all my days

Keep me Father so that I may be....Protect me Dear Lord so that death, I may never see....Guide me Heavenly Father in the direction that You Choose....Hold me In Your Grace God because there is where I can't lose....;)
