It is the golden, waking breath of dawn,
That kisses shadows till the night is gone,
A quiet hum within the rushing stream,
Turns a moment into a living dream.
I love the rugged, winding road of years,
The sudden laughter and the gentle tears,
How autumn leaves must fall to feed the root,
And silent winters ripen hidden fruit.
It’s the pulse of the heartbeat, fierce and free,
A love for all that is, and is to be,
In every breath, a universe I hold,
A tender story waiting to unfold.
For life is not the breath, but moments taken,
In wonder, by the sunlit world awaken.
I love the journey, chaotic and divine,
I love the world, which makes me mine.
We are formed in His likeness – three in one,
Body, mind, spirit, we are created anew.
As in our hearts we think, so our course is run -
The soul reflects what inward thoughts pursue.
When Christ we claim, our spirit wakes and sees
Heaven’s truths which once lay dormant and dim.
Belief ignites like fire upon the breeze,
And all things bloom through faith we hold in Him.
He spoke: “All things are possible - believe!”
So, we declare, decree His boundless good.
In trust, the chains of doubt begin to leave,
And miracles arise where once none stood.
With God, the vast impossible shall cease -
In Him, the tide of hope and grace increase.
Breathe...breathe with all your might
Inhale the soft breeze of life's essence
Love...love with all your might
Regale o'er wide seas at love's presence
Hate...hate blinds love's insight
In Hell, a disease of life's essence
Fate...fate binds love's insight
Regret won't appease its presence
Sometimes when you cry your Heart;
Sees better!
Just a heart beating Just a soul breathing;
Just a mind seeing Jesus;
O' What a friend indeed,
He chose me so !
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
So in my free will;
I must be still;
as I walk in Him;
I am a new creation cared for and treasured;
I am the Righteousness of God;
I am His breath His Light;
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
HALEHJAUH I am His beating heart His breath of life light
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-

Many believe that the breath of life
it's something unusual... they don't understand that
casual is causal!
It's intentional, it's ordered
by the Father of creation...
For him there is no probability,
neither impossibility nor chance.
No link is lost,
permanently no link
broken, made undone...
Everything recovered... nothing
remains
in defect... it's further than science,
it is cosmic consciousness.
Everything for the creator is simple,
everything wonderful,
everything divine... like
the breath of life... !
the gift of each breath of life ~ I treasure most eminently of all.

The winter's chilling wind is past
The world's awakening at last
And from the mounts, where there was snow
Come rushing streams that overflow
The streams make all the fields turn green
Bright blossoms everywhere are seen
And in the grass and in the trees
Are graceful birds and busy bees
This lustrous beauty makes me sing
I thank my King for each new spring
As spring's light breezes swiftly roll
The breath of life now fills my soul

In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord your Redeemer. Isaiah 54:8
Justice, mercy and love are found
in the Grace of Almighty God,
Blessed by His Spirit moment by moment
I am compelled to praise His name -
He a jealous God who protects His children
from Satan, from ourselves, from the world.
He disciplines when we fail to obey
but still, He sheds forgiveness if we ask.
I cannot face my challengers alone;
I cannot find solutions by myself.
But I do find strength and wisdom
and I am eternally grateful for...
sufficiency in the Grace of God.
He knows better than I - what I need.
God takes MY selfish breath away!
...and replaces it with His Own Spirit.
Under the hedges the ground was still like a frozen brick,
Cracks zig zagged over the surface leaving gaps,
Where old Jacomus in his wild dance,
Would whirl and freeze as if in a trance,
Robins and Thrushes vainly search for grains and grubs,
Along with the scampering long tailed mouse,
His whiskers a twitching sensing out a louse,
Badgers warm and snug in their deep setts,
Foxes scream and call in the forest deep,
Pheasants shuffle in gamekeepers keep.
A rattle in bleak blangk twigs and branches,
A lady in white on her unicorn prances,
Breathing warm air from between ruby red lips,
Softening the earth making it fertile again,
Where plants and bushes will start to awaken,
The joy of rebirth and beginings anew once more.
Searching for the breath of Life
Has Come from an external God of life
Whispers of winds gone and small
They were being a new breeze in all the breath request
Movements invisible placed within the soul of man
All humanity a kiss from God a blowing breath
Has left his lips and into the nostrils of man into his chest
A kiss of God is a breath of life

As we be breathed in the dawn’s early light
The sheath of our night is a victory away
The truth in our voice is a sword that is bright
By the choice to forgive in the heat of the day
Oh, take in the breath of a new morning sent
Bask in the breeze of an ease in your day
Boil and bake to the balm of content
Sleep in the peace of a happy, new way
The best part of life is the husband or wife
Who is firm with your daughter or son
The end of your strife is the mend in your life
By the calm of the peace that is won.

As we be breathed with God’s own breath,
Let us love others till our death,
Sharing the grace that we received
From the moment we were conceived,
For in us, God’s Spirit dwelleth;
As we be breathed with God’s own love,
Let us help others as from above,
Living the life that He would want,
Humbling ourselves and not self-vaunt,
For His love is our source thereof;
As we be breathed with God’s own life,
Let us rise above worldly strife,
Declaring Christ’s work on the Cross,
Removing ourselves from all dross,
For in His breath is found love rife.

Must be the air I breathe that keeps me alive
Yet no it is not it is the breath the kiss of God that's deep inside
Birth deep inside my chest is His breath a gift
My Father God has birth us
Our praise and worship that's all you wants
God you're, you are, you are my breath of life

I breathe in my life God has given me;
this He kissed me from my nose to my mouth;
My earthen body is my temporal house;
God has made me;
The amount of clay He molded me;
And put me on display;
He sent me on my way;
He's giving me reason and choice;
He has given me a voice;
Now How I choose pending on how repentive hues;
I'll be a sinner set free now I am at liberty~
