Lord, you turned my life around
When you brought me out of the ground
You breathed on me Spirit and Life
And raised me to the higher height
Spirit and Life are your words
Its song is echoed by the birds
I am touched by your love Oh Lord
From your Sacred Heart outpoured
I am moved by the grace you have given
Taken from the dead to the land of the livin'
So inconceivable that you were back
But when you came, I about had a heart attack
Now I stand before you deeply moved
You gently take my hand as it is proved
That you are alive, and it is really you
I stand before you with my hand in your side
And I feel your heart opened wide
I touched my Lord's Most Sacred Heart
And, for me, his work he has set apart

a window of time:
wind sneaks in from behind like -
her breath on his neck.

the night is darkest
before the dawn
but I can still see
the breath
expelled from my lungs

Please take time to do nothing.

They say I'm inspiring
Because I'm strong
But what did I do that was so strong
Other than take another breath
In my hardest moments
By that metric we're all surrounded by giants
Walking monuments, a testimonial that we saw our worst days and made it out the other side
