Every Breath

when we are young,

we dream of all that could be,

when we grow old,

we come to the bitter realization

of all that we are not;

and what will never be;

it is then dreams die,

it is then that hope fades,

it is then truth is lost;

for everything there is a season,

for everything there is a purpose,

for every push there is a shove,

for every action there is a reaction;

overwhelm me with Your truth,

fill me with Your light,

let today be the day,

let now be the time;

in You, we become something greater,

in You, we are made complete,

in You, dreams live once more,

in You, hope is restored;

in You we shall live forever;

let every breath taken,

be taken for Your glory,

let every word spoken,

be spoken of Your majesty,

let every creature under the sun,

praise Your name;

be my King,

be my Lord,

be my Master;

raise this vessel from the dust,

make me a noble instrument,

useful for Your holy will,

let me be Your humble servant,

for all eternity.
