Light the Way

i swear i saw you breathing today…

you were there. actually there. in front of me. and i looked up at you. and you were looking down on me. with eyes full of pain and suffering and wonder. but eyes of courage. eyes of assurance. eyes of pure love… and i swear i saw you breathe… kneeling down in front of you… i saw your chest move. you breathe. tears falling from your eyes. knowing you were suffering only to save my life. and the lives of many others… it hurt. i cried. you lived. to die. and seeing you in front of me… watching you breathe slowly and gasping for the last bit of air. seeing your bare chest move, struggling to inhale… knowing you went through all that… for me… and for many others… i cried… i sang. i prayed. i thanked. i said sorry…

Jesus, I love you. and seeing you… on the cross… suffering… i kneeled down. i looked up and saw you looking at me. and watched you breathe. breathing my sins into you, taking them from me to bare on your own shoulders, and breathing holiness into me… I’m sorry you had to go through all of that pain and suffering. I sang praise for you afterwards. just a small simple thing when you deserve more. you deserve my life dear Lord. and you have it. I live. for you. and you alone. Lord have your way in me. and when i turn away from you, spin me around to go back to you again.
