At the beginning there was breath
Composing the tonic over chaotic
Melodic made chronological order
Record her first steps
The universe leapt into adventure
From Your tongue as You sung
She spun in rhythm's hum
Where You breathed freedom
In the beginning there was breath
Expressing words not the sentence of death
But action for atoms and Adam and Eve and animate objects
Your projects we frolicked
You called it good
Should we plot wisdom's path back to that first laugh
As she crafts with the master
And asked her where Your delight comes from
Drumroll please
Wisdom's summary
It's where You breathed freedom
At the beginning there was breath
Suppressing darkness
Imagined now experienced
So since the earth first opened her isotopes
We've had our hopes
On climbing ropes and scaling slopes
Down periscopes to seas below
Watch sparrows go, the skies aglow
We only know in pieces
We mainly see the creases
And while brilliant beauty pleases
And wonders sometimes they seize us
I'm telling you my thesis
The adventure in worship searching
Your infinite masterpieces
Is glimpsing Your glory
Gleaned from seeing Jesus
So insight and love increases
Our belief is You will come
We are changing but we ain't done
Nature's waiting for what we become
So I'll keep staying where You breathe freedom
