Breath of God

To gain the world and lose your soul 
Is too great a price to pay 
Just thirty pieces of silver 
Bought Judas's soul that day 

Fame, Lust and Greed 
For this some souls are traded 
Only to find just emptyness 
When all their joy has faded 

So walk with God where ever He leads 
In Faith always believing 
Darkness comes when we think not 
To tempt us while deceiving 

For me this world's forsaken 
Tho some consider it odd 
But see my soul is priceless 
For it's the Breath of God
