Breath

If I didn't stand for you

The trees would

Rigid backed, stoic barked

Givers of wood

For it was from one that

The cross was carved out and

Hands that planted the world's garden

Were pierced through, make no doubt

That if I didn't bow for you

Flowers would

vestures of beauty for grass in the wood

They know your beauty

Your garments they glow

More beautiful than blooms

That survive winter snow

Lord you know,

If I didn't raise my voice

The rocks would

Sing out Hosannah

For Nature knows You

And though man may falter

and forget his maker

No stone, no flower, no tree

Could forsake you

But as long as there's breath in my lungs

The rocks rest

And as long as there's courage in me

I will stand

As long as my beauty is your holiness

Lord Jesus,

I'll bow.

Only You know how

Worthy you truly are

But make me burn for you

As bright as a star

For you know their names

And you call them out

You know their number

Like sand, and their route

May I be like

every breath breathing

Living thing

Giving praise to my Father

Creator and King

Let creation sing

As it does

But louder still

Praise I will

For I was dust

But you breathed life into

My nostrils

I live

And now every breath

To You

Jesus

I give

You Only are Worthy

God's Living Word

Let everything that has breath

Praise the Lord.
