Breathing the last breath 
Short and labored
Needing just one more 
To last – to last

Blood running cold
In veins of hope
Where the final flow
Drains all feeling

Breathing the first breath
Whisper of grace
Facing God with only faith
To fill eternity

Blood doesn’t pour out
Through arteries of doubt
Where the victory comes
From knowing God’s Son

Breathing the last breath
Reminds us all that death
Brings about the first breath
In infinity – eternity

Heaven or hell?
Will you be there?
One of these is our destiny
Where will you be?

I claim the victory
In heaven’s home where we
Face the One who created us
To be with Him in everlasting
Harmony, joy, ecstasy

He is the One who died for me
And I only long to breath
My first and last breath
In His presence
Where I can be assured
Of eternal serenity
Eternal security
Eternal surety 
Peace forever
Unendingly
