Romans 5: 18-21 (NRSVA)

18 Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19 For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

There’s a victory that sounds

from slowing lips

and laboured breaths

there’s a victory that sounds

from ashen lungs

and the soft crackle in the debris.

There’s a victory that sounds

from the easing movement of a ribcage

and a low, scraping sigh.

There’s a victory that sounds

from a weary throat

and a chuckle full of splinters.

There’s a victory that sounds

at first on an inhale

and at last on an exhale.

There’s a victory that sounds.

Prayer:

Lord of All Breath

There is a victory that sounds

and resounds

a victory you won for us,

gave freely to us.

Amen.
