Breathing the breath

God touched me in the most amazing way in this morning's worship... learned a new song--a very simple song, but the lyrics encompasses soooo much. My heart was sooooo touched! Yes indeed everything that we have is a blessing from God, including the most basics of our lives. Greek word for Spirit has meaning of breath... and we are breathing the breath that God has given to us first!! If we believe in this, what right do we have to brag? What else can we do BUT to worship Him??
Breathing The Breath
by Matt Redman
album: Facedown (2004)
We have nothing to give
That didn't first come from Your hands
We have nothing to offer You
Which You did not provide
Every good, perfect gift comes from
Your kind and gracious heart
And all we do is give back to You
What always has been Yours
Lord, we're breathing the breath
That You gave us to breathe
To worship You, to worship You
And we're singing these songs
With the very same breath
To worship You, to worship You
Who has given to You
That it should be paid back to him?
Who has given to You
As if You needed anything?
From You, and to You, and through You
Come all things, O Lord
And all we do is give back to You
What always has been Yours
We are breathing the breath
That You gave us to breathe

It's one thing to live without being aware of our breath. It's another thing to live knowing we are being breathed. How would that change how we love?
Knowing that we are breathed to will change how we love because we know *why* we love in the first place... or Source of our love. Don't you think?
Just reading something about that tonite from the bible. Will share that next time I write =)
