The Breath of Life

As we be breathed with God’s own breath, Let us love others till our death, Sharing the grace that we received From the moment we were conceived, For in us, God’s Spirit dwelleth; As we be breathed with God’s own love, Let us help others as from above, Living the life that He would want, Humbling ourselves and not self-vaunt, For His love is our source thereof; As we be breathed with God’s own life, Let us rise above worldly strife, Declaring Christ’s work on the Cross, Removing ourselves from all dross, For in His breath is found love rife. 08.12.2021

This is the crux of why we are here I think. "Let us help others as from above, Living the life that He would want,"

Beautiful! A winner for me. I didn't understand the prompt only. As we be breathed means what? Can you please tell me the meaning of these words.
