For MomE

My mom recently sent me a song she wrote that one of our former church members is hopefully going to sing. I like it and had asked her if I could share it with people. She said I could and that it would be ok for me to post it here. I hope you enjoy it :)

He's the Air I Need to Breathe

VERSE 1:

I find every now and then

I make that promise once again

As I'm back down on my knees

Asking God to hear my pleas

When my world is ripped apart

I feel the need to change my heart

Yet I still don't seem to learn

Why God's the last place that I turn

CHORUS:

I want Jesus each new morn

So His words, my thoughts adorn

Through my days and nights extol

That my life's in His control

He can fill my thirsty soul

Feed my hunger, make me whole

Every day I must believe

He's the air I need to breathe

VERSE 2:

When the going gets too tough

And I tell God I've had enough

Though I call upon His Name

He is where I place the blame

Still it's worse when things are good

I don't feel the need I should

Since I'm busy, there's less thought

In a Name I've now forgot

VERSE 3:

When my prayers seem unheard

I wish I still would read His word

As I search for evidence

That His love for me's immense

I'm not worthy of His grace

But long to end with His embrace

I've been taught this from my youth

That in Him, I will find the truth
