Fill Our Lungs with Love - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

So much of the story
preparing us for service
to drink of the living water
to be filled by the Spirit

Fill our lungs with love
we pray, to you, almighty God
We want you near us
as we walk in life
we want you to go with us
making the whole world bright

Sharing your message
as servants of the King
bringing you to them
falling on our knees

Like the humble servant
washing our neighbors’ feet
sharing your love with them
to everyone we meet
