From the first slap and gasp of breath to our last faltering whisper
In the deep filling
and the choking breathlessness
You are there.
And it's the same air in this bubble You have made that You came to breathe also
Lord, forgive us when we misuse this gift
Please forgive when we use this mouth to curse and scream and complain
Help us to praise
and use our anonymous praise to Your glory and for Your purpose
as we encourage our husbands
as we raise our children
as we speak truth into our communities
as we comfort our friends
as we work in the ministry You have placed us
May we praise You!
Lord we pray that Your praises will reach all the corners of the earth
the outposts where our soldiers are
the bellies of the ships
in the skies with the planes
from boot camp to the Pentagon
from the medal ceremonies
to the quiet hospital room or single apartments of our veterans
Great are You Lord and only You can bring peace to all
Let it begin with us Lord. In our insignificance, may You work. Be with us in those tough days when it's hard to breathe at all.
We pray for those PCSing
We pray for those with sick kids
We pray for the mommas who need healing
We pray for peace and wisdom in guiding our kiddos
We pray for our marriages
We pray for our spheres of influence--from Sunday School to neighbor to business woman--
May we give You praise in all this week!

You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
To You only
You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
To You only
[x2]
All the earth will shout
Your praise
Our hearts will cry
These bones will sing
Great are You, Lord
