Breathing the Breath

I have been meditating through the past week on the following words from Matt Redman's song
"Breathing The Breath". How absolutely incredible is it that our God would delight in us. I am in awe of this.

We have nothing to give
That didn't first come from Your hands
We have nothing to offer You
Which You did not provide
Every good, perfect gift comes from
Your kind and gracious heart
And all we do is give back to You
What always has been Yours

Lord, we're breathing the breath
That You gave us to breath
To worship You, to worship You
And we're singing these songs
With the very same breath
To worship You, to worship You

Who has given to You
That it should be paid back to him?
Who has given to You
As if You needed anything?
From You, and to You, and through You
Come all things, O Lord
And all we do is give back to You
What always has been Yours

We are breathing the breath
That You gave us to breath

Buddy,

You're right, it is something that should put us all in a state of awe. Especially when you consider the truth that nothing we can give Him, even our tithe, is really ours in the first place. I guess it's a good thing God isn't offended at "re-gifting."
