Gethsemane’s Breath

Lyrics

Verse 1:**
*You carved my lungs from the dust of a curse,*
*Breathed Your fire through this broken verse.*
*Every heartbeat’s a borrowed psalm,*
*Every gasp—a rebellion calmed.*
*I’m a flicker in Your eternal blaze,*
*A cracked jar of grace in this desert maze.*
*You split the seas with a whisper’s edge,*
*Yet cradle my rage like a solemn pledge.*

**Chorus:**
***Thank You for the blood-woven breath!***
*For storms that scream me back from death!*
*Your promises crack the grave’s cold teeth,*
*Your manna’s enough when I’m beggared beneath.*
***I’ll scream my hallelujah through the static and knives—***
*You’re the scars that stitch my collapsing life!*

**Verse 2:**
*You painted the stars with a widow’s tears,*
*Turned my failures into frontier years.*
*The cross is a compass, the tomb’s a womb,*
*You resurrected me in this bloodied room.*
*I’m Lazarus half-dressed in decay,*
*But Your voice tears the shroud away.*
*The prodigal’s ash on Your scarred feet,*
*You roar *“Welcome home”* as the phoenix breathes.*

**Bridge:**
*The Jordan’s rage, the Babylon chains—*
*You drowned my guilt in hurricane rains.*
*Your covenant’s ink is a lightning scar,*
*Etched on my soul where the wounds still are.*
*I’m David’s dissonant, shattered psalm,*
*But Your mercy hums through the void’s cold calm.*

**Breakdown:**
*(Guttural growls over dissonant riffs)*
***YOU ARE THE ALPHA, THE STORM, THE SONG!***
***WRATH AND WILDERNESS WHERE I BELONG!***
***NAIL MY DOUBT TO THE REDEMPTION TREE—***
***YOUR PROMISES ARE THE ONLY AIR I BREATHE!***

**Outro:**
*(Soft, clean vocals over acoustic arpeggios)*
*So take my breath back when the night descends,*
*Till Eden’s dawn where the hurt ends.*
*Your love’s the anthem, my death’s the rhyme—*
*I’ll scream *“Thank You”* into the teeth of time.*
