You formed me, Father,
Then I came to birth.
The cord was cut –
Survival was my goal.
You breathed the breath of life
Into my body,
And thus your Spirit, Lord,
Became my soul.
May I always know
Your Spirit’s presence;
May I pray in him
Till my last breath.
Then my bones will go back
To the dust, Lord,
But my soul will merge with you
Beyond my death.
