O Breath of Life
$0.00
I originally recorded this song as a pop-punk retune of the hymn text by Bessie Porter Head. Naturally, the idea was met with some skepticism. But beneath the hood is a perfectly singable congregational song. You see? Songs are just like people. Sometimes beneath a prickly punk facade is a placid heart of gold.

1. O Breath of life,
come sweeping through us,
revive your church
with life and power.
O Breath of life,
come, cleanse, renew us;
and fit your church
to meet this hour.
O Holy Spirit, come.
Come and breathe on us.
Breathe on us
new life, new love,
O Holy Spirit, come.
O Holy Spirit, come.
2. O Wind of God,
come bend us, break us,
till humbly
we confess our need.
Then in your tenderness
remake us;
revive, restore,
for this we plead.
3. O Breath of love,
come breathe within us,
renewing thought
and will and heart.
Come, love of Christ,
afresh to win us;
revive your church
in every part.
