For the last time...

This breath I take before he sinks me down
will be the last time I will think of you
call you mine and covet you because
this is not what I was called here for.
That almost kiss in a midnight parking lot
something sweet became corrupt
and you and I were twisted by the pain
until we were thorns of sin nailing
Him, how could we have known it then?
This breath I take
This breath I take
will wash it all
This breath I take
will wash it all away
This breath I take before he sinks me down
will be the last time I will go through
every touch every kiss every moment of bliss
the last time I will think of that doomed fall
wasted days of wanting what wasn't mine at all.
Nights when I waited in darkness for you
body burning bright with the last of my
misspent youth given without thinking to you
Oh, but with this breath I take, I will be new.
This breath I take
This breath I take
will wash it all
This breath I take
will wash it all away
This breath I take before he sinks me down
Like a newborn child my life is finally found
Cut the losses take the gains and wash
the bitter taste of regret that remains
Let me forget and forgive who we were
Let me give these dreams I once wanted to her
Fall beneath the bloody feet of my Lord
My love in service forever to His Word

Lord this breath I take before he sinks me down

Take this breath
Take this breath
before I drown
Take this breath
Take this breath
before I drown
