Two Sundays ago I lay at the Altar

The pain was terrible and ripped

My breath came hard – can I preach

It is so hard to breathe or speak

“Sit up.” My Lord said to me.

I sat up and He said “Lean on Me.”

I leaned against the Altar rail

“Sit in My Lap” Daddy said to me

I rested in my Daddy’s lap in peace

“Breathe deep.” whispered in my soul

As I breathed deep my lungs filled

Pure clean cool air flooded in

“The air of heaven fills your lungs.”

All of me was refreshed and renewed

Every part of me felt new and whole

A sweet scent filled my nose and soul

How long will this last I asked Daddy

“Not for long today My child.

Soon you will breathe it each day.”

I wanted it to stay, I wanted to stay

Soon it went away slowly fading

Harder to breathe each moment

But better than it had been before

I still smell the fragrance of that place

Thanks Daddy for Your open lap

Thanks for that moment to refresh

Thanks Daddy for hope for a day

When I will breathe heavens air!
