Dear Father in Heaven,
I join with all creation to praise You...
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Psalms 150:6
As You breathed life into Adam, please breath life into me today...
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7
Please breathe on me by Your Holy Spirit, Oh Breath of God...
The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Job 33:4
Fill me with life anew, that I may love what You love and do what You do.
Please breathe on me, Breath of God, until my heart is pure until my will becomes one with You.
Breathe on me, Breath of God, until I am totally yielded to You until every part of me glows with Your divine fire until this life that I now live is not mine but Yours.
In the holy name of Jesus I come to You in prayer and worship, Amen.
Adapted from the hymn Breathe on Me Breath of God, by Edwin Hatch (1878)...
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
