Breathe into me

I have been wondering what topic to blog for this special season. There's a lot of things going on my mind that I could not even choose which topic to write about!

The title may be odd for the season's greeting. Let me elaborate a bit. One time I asked Angelo what was his fave song is and he said Breathe Into Me by Red. I wanted to know how his type of music sounds and then was immediately displeased. My headphones was in full mode and then this loud song banged into my ears! I immediately closed the window after few words.

Couple of months later, I surfed GodTube.com and was surprised that Breathe Into Me by Red was included in the list of videos. My reaction was: Huh?!?!.

I searched my way beyond the noisy music. I found out that
Red is an American Christian rock band - Wikipedia
I googled the lyrics. And then, listen to it again. Of course I reminded myself to put the control in minimal volume, this time. Then I was in awe! We humans, being sinful in nature, needed His breath.

Romans 3:23 indicates:for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. In Matthew 1:21 it says She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins. The real significance of this day is about our need of a savior. The fact is, He already paid for the sins of mankind, even the undeserving one. All. Past, present and future.

Ephesians 2:8-9 indicates: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. We only have to accept Him and His gift of eternal life.

Thank you Alo for (intentionaly and unintentionaly) leading me closer to Him. Love you both!

Let me end this post by sharing the lyrics of the said song.

"Breathe Into Me"

And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me
And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you
And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me

Breathe your life into me
I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I'm falling, falling
Breathe into me
Breathe into me

And this is how it looks when I am standing on the edge
And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground
And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear when I throw myself away

Breathe your life into me
I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I'm falling, falling
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me

Breathe your life into me
I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I'm falling, falling
Breathe into me
