Prologue

 

D                                         Cadd9

At the dawn of time when the world was young

G                                    D

God planted a garden east of Eden

D                            Cadd9
A perfect place in a perfect world

G                           D
A cradle for His last creation

D                                        Cadd9

Man was formed from the dust of the earth

G                                   D
Created from common clay

D                                       Cadd9
And Adam was made and living soul when

G                     A            D
He was filled with the breath of God

 

Chorus

 

D                                             Cadd9
We live and we move and we have our being

G                                   D
We’re Living in the breath of God

D                                              Cadd9
And the world was formed by God speaking

G                     A             D
Created by the breath of God

 

Verse 1

 

D                                   Cadd9
The east wind blew all day and all night

G                              D
Making the sea dry ground

D                          Cadd9
The Israelites did safely take flight

G                                         D
Delivered by the breath of God

D                                          Cadd9                                 

And the word of God came not in the old time

G                           D
Not by the will of men

D                              Cadd9
But holy men spake as the were moved

G                    A             D
Moved by the breath of God

 

Chorus

 

D                                             Cadd9
We live and we move and we have our being

G                                   D
We’re Living in the breath of God

D                                              Cadd9
And the world was formed by God speaking

G                     A             D
Created by the breath of God

 

Verse 2

 

D                           Cadd9
Ezekiel stood in a valley wide

G                       D
And lo it was full of bones

D                                 Cadd9
God said “Son of man prophesy”

G                          D
lo the bones shall live

D                               Cadd9

Then bone-to-bone sinew and flesh

G                        D
Arose an army exceeding strong

D                                      Cadd9
And the four winds blew upon that host

G                             A             D
And filled them with the breath of God

Verse 3

 

C                                     Cadd9
In the beginning was the word and the word was with God

G                                 D
And lo the word was made flesh

D                                   Cadd9
He dwelt among God’s fallen sons

G                             D
A beacon of righteousness

D                                              Cadd9

He said come to me all ye that hunger and thirst

G                             D
And you shall surely be filled

D                                      Cadd9
He breathe on them with His own breath

G                    A             D
And filled with the breath of God

We live and we move and we have our being

We’re Living in the breath of God

And the world was formed by God speaking

G                      A            D
Created by the breath of God
  

Verse 4

 

D                                            Cadd9

A hundred and twenty in the upper room

G                             D
Waited with one accord

D                           Cadd9
A mighty rushing wind and fire

G                                              D
Filled them with the breath of God

D                                            Cadd9

He said this is that which the prophet Joel

G                          D
Spake of and testified

D                                             Cadd9
In these Latter days you shall all be filled

G                     A             D
Filled with the breath of God

D                                                   Cadd9
At the end of the time, when this world is through

G                       D
God will fashion another Eden

D                              Cadd9
A perfect place in a perfect world

G                                        D
A home for those who know salvation

D                                Cadd9

Man shall not live by bread alone

G                                               D
But by every word from the mouth of God

And we shall be eternal souls

G                                     D
Filled with the breath of God

The new world will be formed by God speaking

G                     A             D
Created by the breath of God
