Susan Hawthorne - With My Last Breath lyrics

rate me

Chorus1:

Here I am, Lord, with my last breath,

With my last breath, praising You.

There’s no pride, and no pretension,

Comprehension flooding through.

Vs. 1 –

In my full and glowing days,

Scant and hurried was my praise.

Now, my God, I’m fixed on You.

There’s no thing I’d rather do than

Chorus 2:

Be with You, Lord, in this sweet death,

Solemn, silent, praising You.

With my mem’ry, with my heartbeat,

Through the pain, I’m praising You.

Vs. 2

It’s Your love I rest upon

When my mortal strength is gone,

Back to basics, back to grace,

Waiting, soon to see Your face.

Bridge:

Let the universe decline,

Let the reason leave the rhyme,

Jesus’ love still underpins.

Ev’ry saint crossed over wins. (Repeat)

Chorus 3:

Now I’m with You—no more sadness.

Opened eyes, heart new and free.

Overwhelmed with truth and gladness

Sin and death, no threat to me.

Vs. 3

Done, the chapter, turn the page,

This our story, age to age.

In a twinkling, safe above,

New in name and lost in love.

Coda:

Here I am, Lord, with my last breath.

Any breath could be our last breath.

Here I am, Lord;

Christ has breathed it,

What He offered, I received it.

Love has done it, grace has won it,

Here I am.<br />
