Breathe

This is the air I breathe;

Your Holy presence living in me.

This is my daily bread;

Your very Word spoken to me.

And I'm desperate for You,

and I'm lost without You.

One of my goals for while working at camp this summer, has been to fall in Love with worship through music again. My favorite songs are usually my favorite for the greatness of their lyrics. It seems we get so used to praise songs, just praise songs, that we really forget to think about what we're saying. Take "Breathe" it's so beautiful. Now think about what it really means, think about what you are sing to God. His very presence in me, His Holy Spirit in me, envelopes me, it is my life, He is my life; as important and essential as the air a I breathe. "This is the air I breathe": God in me. God, all I need is your word on my lips, as food, as my daily bread. I can't live on bread alone, but your Word, God. Your Words sustain me. And all I need is You. 

In my life I must remind myself that, really, the only thing that matters is God. It's what we're here for. We're here because of Him, and we're here for Him. If I have nothing, but have God, than I have everything. If I have everything without God, I have nothing at all. He caused the breath in me, He keeps me breathing, He is the air I breathe.
