Breath of grace

 
 
A sigh of relief, exhale.
The chains released for all ages.
The weight has been lifted off my chest.
Saved by the scandal of grace.
So that I may not burn,
For all eternity.
 
For I long to spend eternity,
With you. Every breath I exhale,
For they no longer burn.
Saved for all the ages,
Through your grace.
Can you hear the pounding in my chest?
 
I wish to build my treasures in heaven's chest,
To have for all eternity.
To show other's your grace,
So they may exhale,
So they can be saved through the ages.
I do not wish them to burn.
 
My love for others, the burn 
In my chest.
The love I have for all ages.
Like you, I would give my eternity.
For life you exhale,
And we inhale grace.
 
For it is your grace,
In our heart's burn.
The fresh exhale,
We release from our chest.
To long for eternity,
To spend with you for all ages.
 
You were there through all the ages.
You gave us the scandal of your grace.
You promised  us eternity.
The passion in our souls burn.
A roar bellowed from our chest.
We all exhale.
 
An exhale of relief through the ages.
Our chest you have lifted the sting of death through the scandal of grace.
May your love burn for all eternity.
