YOU BREATHED INTO MAN THE BREATH OF LIFE
You breathed into man the breath of life
And a living soul he became
We are breathing still today
We breathe to praise Your name
Our hearts are made to pump the blood
That keeps our bodies fit
Yet some men still disbelieve
And will hear, none of it
Yet Lord You are so merciful
Your grace much more abounding
While sin takes its toll on men today
Your patience is astounding
Longsuffering is an attribute
No longsuffering One as Thee
You hold back all Your wrath and wait
And love abundantly
Abundant life you give to those
Who trust in Your blessed name
And those who do are sure to tell
They'll never be the same
A witness to your great love
Poured out at Calvary
Where Jesus shed His precious blood
And died for you and me
Blest O doubly blest we are
Who trust in Jesus name
Who are reconciled now to God
O praise His glorious name
I can feel a touch of Heaven
My soul has been set free
Sin's released its stranglehold
For Jesus lives in me!

I would like to translate this poem
Hmmm.....although not a big fan on religious writes, I am pleasantly surprised and happy I took the time to give this a read through. A nice message given without being preachy. Well done!
