Three Breaths

Three Breaths,
Three Gates,
Deeper, Deeper, Deeper
Into The Heart;
The Sacred Grove
Set Apart
From all figuring,
fretting, and fear.
O, My Soul,
I Meet You Here.

Three Breaths,
Three Strands,
Sweeter, Sweeter, Sweeter
Into Your Hands;
All Things in Trust
Therein laid.
Christ, my Shepherd,
I shan’t be afraid;
Bound by This
Red Thread You braid.
