Poem created from 7 words given to me by friends

I asked people on my Christian Facebook Page to give me a word so that I could compose a poem using those words. The words in ' ' are the ones which people gave me. Below is the poem I have written:

'Breathe' Holy Spirit into our weak hearts;

'Sisters' and brothers praise Thee as Thou art!

Cleanse us, renew us, make us like You, 

'Blessed', not forsaken, tender and true!

Each 'new day' You give us, hope we shall see, 

'Wonder', eternal, as we gaze on Thee!

Unclean like a 'lizard' we were at a loss*,

But Jesus our Saviour died on that cross.

Where ever we are, the Lord shows us His face, 

In 'Bala' or Greenland, we see His fine grace.

So come let us stand at the foot of the cross

There's so much to gain, and not any loss.
