The Air I Breathe

Another moment of God at work at JUMYS...

This is one of those that I've come to recognize more easily now. I don't know if it's truly God or my reaction - but my faith and past experience says... it's God.

One of my favorite "praise and worship" songs is "This is the Air I Breathe." Now I'm not usually a fan of praise and worship songs. I like the style of music - no doubt there... but I usually don't agree theologically. Am I some great theologian? No - but it's not what I grew up - and they either leave me going "huh?" or feeling like I'm missing something.

This song does not do that. This song moves me almost every time.

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence
Living, in me.

And I, I'm desperate for you
And I, I'm lost without you.

This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word
Spoken to me.

And I, I'm desperate for you
And I, I'm lost without you.

This is the air I breathe.

So, we've just had communion and I'm starting my prayer... "Lord, please fill me up and let me know of your presence..." and I hear "This is the air I breathe..." start up.

That causes me to stop my prayer, open my eyes, and look up to see God.
