Breath Of Life


I've been digging my own grave
Writing my own eulogy
Just a ghost waiting to scatter my ashes
Walking dead, waiting to come alive
Make me come alive!


Roam the graveyard
Examine the masses
Choke back your tears
How could I end up here?
I feel so unclean
Why can't I be free?


Alone and dying
I hear myself screaming
Give me air!
Give me Your life!
Give me all of You!
Give me the breath of life!


Who left me here?
A shell of myself
A fraction of who I could be
With no way to change
And end in sight
No way to know where I went wrong
I can't find my way home
Just leave me here


Alone and dying
I hear myself screaming
Give me air!
Give me Your life!
Give me all of You!
Give me the breath of life!


Not all stories have a happy end
I'm thankful that mine does
You gave me the breath of life
Now I breathe freely and easily
No longer alone and dying
I'm alive and whole
No longer a shell of a man
In Your presence I'm becoming whole
I've found a way to change
And I've found a path that leads me home
I've found the only thing that will make you whole
I'm eternally thankful
For the breath of life!
