Your breath in my body

🧡

God is love,
and all who live in love live in God,
and God lives in them
(1 John 4:16; NLT).

1. Your breath
In my body,

2. Your life
In my blood;

3. Your strength
In my weakness,

4. Your fire
In my love;

5. Your light
In my blindness,

6. Your truth
In my soul;

7. Your Word
In my heart, Lord —

8. At last,
I am whole.

    • Hi, Alan, how are you both today? I’m doing okay, thanks – slowly settling down with my new cancer drug, which isn’t as bad as the previous one for really unpleasant side-effects. Just wondering if you have this big storm in Scotland? XXXXX

      • Susan is in better shape than me at present, as I still struggle with my back issue. It is improved but still quite painful with spasms threatening frequently. I am glad to hear your new medication is better for you, that must be a great relief for you. I don’t see any storms forecast for Fife in the next few days, so we must be missing it luckily.

      • Hi Alan, it’s such a shame that you are still having to struggle on with so much pain. I pray for you both each day. May God bless you and give you patience XXXXX
