I went into
The jaws of Death
You were there!
The breath of Your Spirit
Encircled me
With your right hand
My soul and my flesh
On the edge of
Perishing
You, my Deliverer
Reached out
And plucked me
Like a burnt branch
From the fire
Of destruction
You brought me out
To a bright place

You blew
Upon my battered
Broken self
You brushed me off
And molded me
Into a masterpiece
A miracle of Your making
And now
I rest in the lap
Of Your love
Your beauty blessing me
Your smile
Shining on each moment
Of my days
My heart breaks forth
With the glory
Of Your praise!
