Sweet, Sweet Breath of Heaven
Sweet, Sweet Breath of Heaven [Prayer]
“ 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,” Eph 5:18-19 NIV
Sweet, sweet breath of heaven
I feel your soft breeze upon my face.
It is so cooling in the warm evening;
O for the gift of heaven’s grace.
That breeze rustles the leaves that fell
From that sturdy, old oak tree.
The presence of your joy and peace
Has fallen sweetly upon me.
Sweet, sweet breath of heaven
Use me to shed your radiance.
You are my Comforter and power;
My enabler of sweet repentance.
Enable me to remain still
Until the storm clouds pass.
Enable me to hear your voice
When temptations my path trespass.
Sweet, sweet breath of heaven
You are in abundant supply.
I’ll plead for you each morning;
Upon your presence daily rely.
I can’t fight life’s battles
In my human flesh.
Enable me to see my vulnerability;
My need of your presence to enmesh.
Sweet, sweet breath of heaven
There’s a purpose greater than me.
Enable me not to lose sight
Of my heavenly gifts and ability.
They are for heaven’s purpose
And not for those of my own.
Please remove that selfishness
That still rests on this soul’s throne.
