This Breath of Life
Dallas Holm
A few more thousand died today
They didn't know Your name
Whose fault is it anyway
Who assumes the blame?
Is it those who know You well
But are afraid to speak
Claiming to be strong in You
But in the end are weak
Oh, we spend our lives so foolishly
Seeking after things that will not last
When on ahead, lies all eternity
And soon this breath of life will all be past
How can we be so unmoved
By how the world is
Do we still belong to Him?
Are our lives still His?
If He owns the universe
And still owns you and me
Why the need to have so much
And live so selfishly
Oh, we spend our lives so foolishly
Seeking after things that will not last
When on ahead, lies all eternity
And soon this breath of life will all be past
