God Holds Our Every Breath -Job 12: 10

We live out our life’s so casually
taking for granted our very breath
not realising we haven’t any certainty
what moment will be your death

God is the creator of all breath
He gives to this world it’s very air
without it where indeed would we be
with no hope not even a prayer

Our souls are even without escape
for the divine hand holds it without doubt
He decides where we go and when
mankind can’t raise a whisper nor a shout

This God is sovereignty the world king
rules over His universe that He made
His creation that He loves so much
sent His only son their sin be paid


(‘In whose hand is the soul of every living thing and the breath of all mankind’ Job ch. 12 v. 10)  (ESV)

So true Gordon, especially the part about God being the creator of all breath and not knowing the moment of our death!:)
