BREATHING OUT AND BREATHING IN
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.
Refrain
I am breathing out
my sorrow,
Breathing out my
sin;
I am breathing,
breathing, breathing,
All Thy fullness
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 fullness,
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 list'ning,
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.
