THE BREATH OF GOD

the breath of God

which gave us life

will also suck away

the all consuming woe and strife

that gathers every day
.

we often think

it's most unfair

we'll not forever live

but each of us has just the share

that God decides to give
.

the breath of God

supplies the wind

that drives our billowed sails

He loves us although we have sinned

for mankind always fails
.

we often strive

to rise above

to prove to Him our worth

He showers down his grace and love

to those who live on earth
.

the breath of God

is filled with song

to keep us from despair

forgiving us when we do wrong

if our hearts we lay bare
.

we tend to cry

and shake our fists

declaring God is dead

but those who choose to slash their wrists

to satan will be wed
