The Very Breath We Take (song)
Breathe in: “Yah…”
Breathe out: “…weh.”
A poetic spiritual picture. This expresses a profound scriptural truth:
Every breath we possess comes from Yahweh.
“And Yahweh Elohim formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.”
—Genesis 2:7
“In whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.”
—Job 12:10
“Let everything that has breath praise Yahweh.”
—Psalm 150:6
The Hebrew name YHWH— contains open, breath-like sounds when pronounced “Yahweh.”“Yah” is also a genuine shortened form of Yahweh’s name found in Scripture.
From our first breath until our last, our lives belong to Yahweh. Our very breathing resembles the gentle sound of His name: “Yah” as we breathe in and “weh” as we breathe out. This gives us a powerful reminder: every breath is a gift from Yahweh, and everything that has breath should praise Him.
Breathe in: Yah.
Breathe out: Weh.
Every breath reminds us of the One who gave us life.
The Very Breath We Take (SONG)
[Verse 1]
From the dust You formed our frame,
Then breathed in us the breath of life.
Every heartbeat, every moment,
Is a gift from You, Yahweh.
[Pre-Chorus]
Our lives are resting in Your hands;
By Your mercy, here we stand.
[Chorus]
Breathe in—Yah,
Breathe out—weh.
Every breath speaks Your name.
From our first breath to our last,
You sustain us all our days.
Breathe in—Yah,
Breathe out—weh.
Let everything that breathes give praise.
Every breath is life from You—
The very breath we take.
[Verse 2]
In Your hand is every creature,
And the breath of all mankind.
You awaken us each morning;
Your compassion gives us life.
[Pre-Chorus]
Our lives are resting in Your hands;
By Your mercy, here we stand.
[Chorus]
Breathe in—Yah,
Breathe out—weh.
Every breath speaks Your name.
From our first breath to our last,
You sustain us all our days.
Breathe in—Yah,
Breathe out—weh.
Let everything that breathes give praise.
Every breath is life from You—
The very breath we take.
[Bridge]
When we rise and when we rest,
Your breath moves within our chest.
Every moment, every day,
Let our living bring You praise.
Yah…
Weh…
Yah…
Weh…
[Final Chorus]
Breathe in—Yah,
Breathe out—weh.
Every breath speaks Your name.
From our first breath to our last,
Our lives belong to You, Yahweh.
Breathe in—Yah,
Breathe out—weh.
Let everything that breathes give praise.
Every breath reminds us of
The One who gave us life.
[Outro]
Breathe in—Yah…
Breathe out—weh…
Every breath is life from You—
The very breath we take.
