Breath of Praise: Second Book of Simple Poems Inspired from God’S Holy Word

By Henry L. Lyon

In the beginning, God gave us the breath of life. Now we, with every breath, need to praise God and all His creation.

His breath, we breathe, should be a reminder of His love and mercy that He pours out on all mankind.

How blessed we are to be sharing the breath of our Holy, perfect GOD.

Because these poems envelop many situations, they all can be applied in our everyday life and give us solutions to our problems with answers found in the Bible. God is here to give you, not only His breath, but Salvation through His Son, JESUS CHRIST.

Please join me in praising our Lord for His free, grace-filled, breath of life. With each breath we take, PRAISE YE the LORD!

GOD DESERVES OUR PRAISE

God breathed into man His breath

So that man, through Him, might be.

Sharing with us the breath of life.

What a gift, to share, from Thee.

Many wonder if God is real,

Yet, there in the Garden of Eden He walked.

Adam and Eve heard His footsteps;

They even heard Him as He talked.

To hear someone walking, and talking,

And breathing the breath we breathe.

Do you doubt in your mind one moment?

It’s truly something to believe!

Of course, there’s something to believe!

It’s the God who created all we see.

He was alive there in the Garden,

And He’s alive here with you and me.

God deserves our praise daily.

And it’s a blessing, His breath, we share.

Praise and bless His Holy Name,

And because of Jesus, we become an heir!

Genesis 3:7-11, 21

Psalm 150:6

Revelation 1:18

TWO HEARTS IN ONE ACCORD

I know not who might read these poems,

Nor the condition your heart is in.

But, I do know for certain

That God still forgives sin.

So, let not one day pass

Without spending time with the Lord.

For He’s waiting patiently to hear

Two hearts in one accord.

God will take your sins

Covering you with His love.

For God sees what you need,

Watching from Heaven above.

Our home is where the heart is.

So, where do you reside?

Are you walking all alone,
