My First Breath

To my Father in Heaven


You've been there for me
From the time I took my first breath
Like a candlelight.
Ever I could see
Or feel the light of Your breath
Deep inside my mind.
Your guidance so near
To light up my path in secret
Till I found t’was Thine.
Walking with you near
Ever since that night I pledged
My heart your desire.
No one’s above Thee
For you are all life’s first breath
Therefore my first light.
I’ll be there for Thee
Each moment I take a breath
For my joy is thine.
