Breathe Lyrics by Orphan No More Co

Exhale Vol. 1

2018

[Joshua Luke Smith]
I read you offered them a father
But they begged for the golden calf
And still we want You to be a God we control
So we mould You into our own image
Staring at our own reflections we reflect our own self rejection onto God
Painting Him inside our pain
We cling to the shame and claim fear like it’s our own
And in the process we enthrone uncertainty like a God

And the religious read about You
They read about a Saviour
But they expected the Saviour to look like a solider, with broad shoulders and a sword in his sheath
So they couldn’t meet the Son of God when he was walking in the street
They crucified him as a carpenter
And still today, what we think we know about God for sure is separating us from what we don’t
Like are we so set on God being the wind that we’re missing Him in the whisper
I’m so grateful that so often You break through and make yourself known as a God so unlike the God that so often I make You
I’m so grateful that You will not be covered or contained even when I try and cut Your name and use Your fame to puff my frame
You are God
The one with holes in His hands that holds everything together
The truth by which all other truths fall
See even truths, when separated from the truth, they’ll make You fall like the sand

Jesus Christ is the only foundation by which any house can stand
So the taller we rise, the deeper we must climb and deeper I must climb
To remind this mind that human kind is God’s gift
I exist because God breathes
I am God’s dream
And now I can finally see that it’s always been exalting Him that reveals the true essence of me
I’m a product of God’s love; a manifestation of His desire
And He is God, the beginning and the end, the lion and the lamb at the same time
He is mystery
And there is so much I don’t understand
But you are the only place I trust to put my hands
So I’m letting go, just so that I can take hold
Letting my myself fall with great speed, deeper and deeper into this Father, this Jesus, this wind, this mystery
And further and further away from certainty
And as I fall I can feel this world coming alive as His eyes are healing mine ‘cause He’s helping me see
