O Lord, breathe Thy Spirit on me

O Lord

breathe Thy Spirit on me

Teach me how to breathe Thee in;

Help me pour into Thy bosom

All my life of self and sin.

I am breathing out my sorrow

Breathing out my sin;

I am breathing

breathing

breathing

All Thy fulness in.

I am breathing out my own life

That I may be filled with Thine;

Letting go my strength and weakness

Breathing in Thy life divine.

Breathing out my sinful nature

Thou hast borne it all for me;

Breathing in Thy cleansing fulness

Finding all my life in Thee.

I am breathing out my sorrow

On Thy kind and gentle breast;

Breathing in Thy joy and comfort

Breathing in Thy peace and rest.

I am breathing out my sickness

Thou hast borne its burden too;

I am breathing in Thy healing

Ever promised

ever new.

I am breathing out my longings

In Thy listening

loving ear;

I am breathing in Thy answers

Stilling every doubt and fear.

I am breathing every moment

Drawing all my life from Thee;

Breath by breath I live upon Thee

Lord

Thy Spirit breathe in me.
