The breath of Spirit

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
—John 1:1 

The breath of Spirit voiced God’s Word:
The cosmos thus God-given;
And Love saw “it was very good”*—
All things in earth and heaven.

Hence man was formed by Spirit pure—
The breath of inspiration;
One cannot ask for any more,
This is our sure foundation.

Embraced in Love, in Truth, in Life—
In God we have our being;
Each breath of prayer unites us all:
In Spirit is true seeing.

Oh, let us live as Spirit guides,
To follow all Thy ways,
For in Thy purity we live,
Oh, sing with joy and praise!

—Ken Cooper

*Genesis 1:31
