We don’t remember our first breath but it must have been glorious…
If you’ve ever experienced not being able to breathe, than I know for certain you don’t take it for granted.
Most of the time though, we don’t think about breathing, do we? It’s automatic, and as long as we breathe there’s no conscious thought or concern about it.
Babies come into the world and we wait expectantly for that first breath.
Swimmers hold their breath under water but as soon as they raise their heads from the cool liquid, a strong breath fills their lungs and it is such a relief.
I’m writing this today because of a new song we learned during our worship service this past Sunday. “All Hail King Jesus” there is a line that says… One final breath and it was finished, but not the end we could have known… verse 2. The song goes and it says, For in a dark, cold tomb, where our Lord was laid One miraculous breath, and we’re forever changed…
Oh glorious breath…the breath of life!!! His breath that changes us forever and we become a living soul!
God breathed breath into Adam and he became a living soul…
Genesis 2:7 New King James Version (NKJV) And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Jesus took his final breath on this earth and was laid in the tomb. Three days later, God breathed, breath, into the King of Glory, and he became our living King forevermore!Forever changed!
John 19:30 New King James Version (NKJV) So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Thank you Father God for the breath of Life! Amen!
Oh let his breath fill your lungs today…let his life saturate your soul…Live and Breathe and Have your Being In Him…the Breath of Life…Now and forevermore!!!

ALL HAIL KING JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Verse 1]
There was a moment when the lights went out
When death had claimed its victory
The King of love had given up His life
The darkest day in history
[Verse 2]
There on a cross they made for sinners
For every curse His blood atoned
One final breath and it was finished
But not the end we could have known
[Pre-Chorus 1]
For the earth began to shake, and the veil was torn
What sacrifice was made, as the heavens roared
[Chorus]
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
[Verse 3]
There was a moment when the sky lit up
A flash of light breaking through
When all was lost He crossed eternity
The King of life was on the move
[Pre-Chorus 2]
For in a dark, cold tomb, where our Lord was laid
One miraculous breath, and we’re forever changed
[Chorus]
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Let every knee, come bow before the King of kings
Let every tongue, confess that He is Lord
Lift up your shout, let us join with all of heaven
Singing ho-ho-ho-ho-holy
Singing ho-ho-ho-ho-holy
Crying out ho-ho-ho-ho-holy
Singing ho-ho-ho-ho-holy
[Chorus]
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
And all hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
[Interlude]
[Post-Chorus]
All hail, King Jesus
All hail, King Jesus
All hail, King Jesus
All hail, King Jesus!
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
