Life & Breath | Matt Redman

Verse 1

The beauty of beginning
The spark of heaven’s mind
The voice that called to order
The orbits and the tides
Each galaxy a wonder
Each grain of sand was blessed
A universe created
By the God of life and breath

Verse 2

But Eden fell to ashes
Perfection stained by sin
And all Your children needed
A new way to begin
With love and mercy knowing
This birth would mean a death
You graced the world You made and
You took on life and breath

Verse 3

You walked this earth among us
With healing in Your hands
O who could comprehend it
A God in form of man
For us You poured Your strength out
Til there was nothing left
The cross and nails and thorns that
Would take Your life and breath

Chorus

To the one true, living,
breathing God
Beginning and the end
To the one true, living,
breathing God
Be all the praise, amen

Verse 4

Your lifeless, broken body
Three days inside a grave
The God of light eternal
In total darkness laid
Yet prophecies had spoken
Of what would happen next
Behold the Risen Saviour
Restored to life and breath

Verse 5

Then when I get to heaven
In fullness I will see
The wonder of the Maker
The perfect Prince of Peace
The holiest of all names
There right in front of me
I’ll worship You in this life and the next
The One who gives the gift of life and breath
