I BREATHE VICTORY
Rejoicing to vanquish attacking woe
My heart now radiates with hopeful glow
Ready to face challenging day midst grace
Trusting the Lord Who holds each tomorrow.
Stepping gladly along triumphant pace
I breathe victory in running life’s race
Surmounting downfalls with prayerful plight
Bouncing upon optimism’s strong brace.
Jubilant toward blest reaching-out flight
Though struggling with angst of selfishness-blight
My faith claims trophy in championship bout
Conquering arrogance with truth’s delight.
Directed toward caring kindness-route
Winning against skepticism and doubt
I strive to ascend, breathing victor’s zest
Joyously grateful against losses’ pout
Cheered to keep on going, doing the best
Never wallowing in frustration’s pest
My spirit breathes victory* of love-flow
Such I share with the rest to the fullest.
*1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
