O Lord, breathe Thy Spirit on me,

|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | Breathing out my sinful nature, |
| | Thou hast borne it all for me; |
| | Breathing in Thy cleansing fulness, |
| | Finding all my life in Thee. |
| 4. | I am breathing out my sorrow, |
| | On Thy kind and gentle breast; |
| | Breathing in Thy joy and comfort, |
| | Breathing in Thy peace and rest. |
| 5. | I am breathing out my sickness, |
| | Thou hast borne its burden too; |
| | I am breathing in Thy healing, |
| | Ever promised, ever new. |
| 6. | I am breathing out my longings |
| | In Thy listening, loving ear; |
| | I am breathing in Thy answers, |
| | Stilling every doubt and fear. |
| 7. | I am breathing every moment, |
| | Drawing all my life from Thee; |
| | Breath by breath I live upon Thee, |
| | Lord, Thy Spirit breathe in me. |
