The Church breathes in
Filling herself with new life
An exchange of Spirit takes place
A gathering of rhythm, a quickening pulse
A change of heart freely offered / Letting go of sin and self

of song and seed, salt and light / A
changed heart, fruit that abides
Taking up the cross
In Love
The Church breathes in…
Ad infinitum
