Before I Am Only Soul

I breathe in, breathe out

Effortless movement

Draining doubt right out of my soul

And, who knew something so simple

Like one foot in front of the other

Could open up so many doors

That were all but locked before



A God so Great

It’s hard to believe

That a God so Great

Would give His Body as Bread for me

Would shed His Blood just to save me

And, who am I to deserve such a Grace

And, such a Grace so free



Inside I break, I bleed

In my insecurities

I pursue things I don’t need after all

Like wealth and other heavy weighted symbols

That in the end, I will meet the grave without

And, I will be breathlessly naked

And, bear before the Maker of Souls



Who am I to think that the world was meant to revolve around me

Who am I to think that the world has anything to offer me

Other than the chance to know what a body is before I am only soul



A God so Great

It’s hard to believe

That a God so Great

Would give His Body as Bread for me

Would shed His Blood just to save me

And, who am I to deserve such a Grace

And, such a Grace for me
