Breath of God
Breath of God: Discovering Divine Purpose and Redemption in Shane Barnard's Melody
Lyrics
A life you cannot define
A life that is beyond definition or limitation
A purpose that's benign
A purpose that is harmless or benevolent
They need to see and believe
An urging for others to witness and have faith
Be led to the rugged tree
To be guided to the cross where Jesus was crucified
The one on which he cried not for his pain but for our debt
The cross where Jesus cried not for his suffering but for our spiritual debt
The very same tree that He conquered death
The same cross where He overcame death
It was an unfair deal on the part of Christ
Describing the crucifixion as an unequal transaction, Christ taking on our sin for eternal life
He got my sin, I got eternal life
Expressing the imbalanced but redemptive nature of the exchange
Make me the breath of God
A plea to become a vessel for God's breath
And I'll show them the One that means the most to me
A commitment to reveal the importance of Jesus to others
They'll see the face of love
Promise that through the speaker, others will experience love's true essence
Be touched by the very one who died upon the tree
To be impacted by the one who sacrificed on the cross
Small talk is a better choice
Choosing superficial conversation over connecting with God
A way to avoid Your voice
A strategy to avoid hearing God's message
I need to feel the dust on my knees
An acknowledgment of the need for humility and repentance
And lead them to the tree
A desire to guide others to the redemptive power of the cross
Will you follow Me, lead them to the tree
An invitation to believe and commit to eternal life
Can't you just believe, will you take a knee for eternity
A challenge to take a humble stance for eternity
