Nothing Is Lost on the Breath of God

Author: Colin Gibson Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 10:29-31 Lyrics: 1 Nothing is lost on the breath of God, nothing is lost forever; God’s breath is love, and that love will remain, holding the world forever. No feather too light, no hair too fine, no flower too brief in its glory; no drop in the ocean, no dust in the air, but is counted and told in God’s story. 2 Nothing is lost to the eyes of God, nothing is lost forever. God sees with love, and that love will remain, holding the world forever. No journey too far, no distance too great, no valley of darkness too blinding; no creature too humble, no child too small for God to be seeking and finding. 3 Nothing is lost to the heart of God, nothing is lost forever; God’s heart is love, and that love will re-main, holding the world forever. No impulse of love, no office of care, no moment of life in its fullness; no beginning too late, no ending too soon, but is gathered and known in its goodness.
