J. Han - A Breath lyrics

[Hook: Sam Ock] This life is like a breath; our days Are numbered as we swiftly fade away Though life is like a breath; how great -- Your word endures forever and a day! [Verse 1: J. Han] Life happens; but, it's moving too fast My brother lost his mom to cancer. Man, the shock is too vast Can't wrap my mind around it even after two laps Life is so fragile, withering away like tulips Look upon this broken world, full of disappointments Shattered dreams, and bitter endings; did you find an ointment? You could spend the next 20 years searching solace for the tears Just to render your life useless like engines without its gears Do you find this funny that a lot of young dummies Waste their lives away following the ways of Young Money? It's impossible to draw any water from an empty well Can you really quench your thirst in that citadel? An everlasting river's waiting for you to drink from it Taste and see His goodness and grace In abundance. Man, a hundred days in his courts Is better than a hundred J's Or hundred ways to utilize your paper chase [Hook] [Verse 2: CL] Music for the moment, moments made with music Precious memories last forever, priceless times make up the blueprint Second hand in progression towards every second; a blessing Pay attention or we'll be missing these most cherished possessions Nobody learns to hate it only waits to be provoked Holding grudges ties the hands as time escapes and drifts afloat All alone in bitterness as selfishness bears rotten fruit Mal-nourishing a heart from forgiveness to act in vain pursuit Best friends becoming enemies as bonds are torn Divorces, leaving broken homes cause spouses can't get along As believers we should live to set examples for all But how can we illustrate forgiveness if we're not willing to draw? Called to reconcile, seek and show mercy and grace Forgiveness brings a joy that can mend a broken embrace The Gospel shows we're forgiven, if transformation is certain Our attitude should be more like Christ and not Wicked Servants (Matt.18:21-35) [Hook]
