A Breath

This life is like a breath
our days
Are numbered
as we swiftly fade away
Though life is like a breath
how great
Your word endures
forever and a day
Life happens
but it’s moving too fast
My brother lost
his mom to cancer
Man the shock is too vast
Can’t wrap my mind around it
even after two laps
Life is so fragile
withering away like tulips
Look upon this broken world
full of disappointments
Shattered dreams
and bitter endings
did you find an ointment
You could spend
the next 20 years
searching solace for the tears
Just to render your life useless
like engines without its gears
Do you find this funny
that a lot of young dummies
Waste their lives away following
the ways of Young Money
It's impossible to draw
any water from an empty well
Can you really quench
your thirst in that citadel
An everlasting river's waiting
for you to drink from it
Taste and see
His goodness and grace
In abundance Man
a hundred days in his courts
Is better than a hundred J's
Or hundred ways
to utilize your paper chase
This life is like a breath
our days
Are numbered
as we swiftly fade away
Though life is like a breath
how great
Your word endures
forever and a day
Music for the moment
moments made with music
Precious memories last forever
priceless times
make up the blueprint
Second hand in progression
towards every second a blessing
Pay attention or we’ll be
missing these most
cherished possessions
Nobody learns to hate it only
waits to be provoked
Holding grudges ties the hands
as time escapes and drifts afloat
All alone in bitterness as
selfishness bears rotten fruit
Mal-nourishing a heart from
forgiveness to act in vain pursuit
Best friends becoming enemies
as bonds are torn
Divorces leaving broken homes
cause spouses can’t get along
As believers we should live
to set examples for all
But how can we illustrate
forgiveness
if we’re not willing to draw
Called to reconcile
seek and show mercy and grace
Forgiveness brings a joy
that can mend a broken embrace
The Gospel shows
we’re forgiven
if transformation is certain
Our attitude should be more
like Christ
and not Wicked Servants
This life is like a breath
our days
Are numbered
as we swiftly fade away
Though life is like a breath
how great
Your word endures
forever and a day
This life is like a breath
our days
Are numbered
as we swiftly fade away
Though life is like a breath
how great
Your word endures
forever and a day
