breath

Job 33:4 New English Translation (NET Bible)

4 The Spirit of God has made me,
and the Breath of the Almighty gives me life.

“I am alive and well”, a common battle cry

A song when we are young and I wonder, why?

Maybe we don’t understand ... what Life Him-self is?

Just thinking as a breath we take ... that life is fully this

Existing is the norm today ... a heartbeat and some pain

Shows us deeply we’re alive ... or dead without gain

Who is breathing, God or me? Who lifts me outside self?

For me to be really free ... I seem to know this very well

Who helps me to die ... so I may live forever?

And as an eagle flies ... in trust, in faith as ever
