When He Breathes

Soft, still, the silence heaves I inhale, the Spirit breathes; Flowing, growing Christ bestowing Life and strength surpassing knowing. Scented, soothing, respiration Taking in His inspiration; Filling, feeling Christ exalted Love and Grace supremely vaulted. Sure, secure the Spirit wind Where flows the Sovereign; God revealing Christ resplendent Hope and purpose codependent. When He breathes upon the morn Hope has dawned and life is born; He my all in all shall be From now unto eternity. Job 33:4

Oh man! This brought tears to my eyes. When I am in the deepest corner of my prayer closet, I'll remember this beauty.

Gayle, you made my day. One never knows if a passion given is likewise received. I am so grateful that it touched you and by doing so it exalts our Lord.

In my humble opinion, this would make a lovely hymn. I can hear it now sung by a church choir. Great meaningful poem. Hugs from afar. Janece
