Deep Breath
Ready for Monday Lyrics

Have you taken the deep breath
Have you paused and taken a moment to compose yourself, to prepare yourself for what's to come.

Stepped over the edge
Have you taken a chance, gone beyond your comfort zone and into the unknown, even if it feels perilous.

Have you looked into tomorrow
Have you contemplated what lies ahead, what the future might bring, what possibilities you have and what pitfalls you might encounter.

Only to forget
Just to realize that trying to divine the future can be a futile exercise, and that memory can be fickle, distorting perception of your past and your present.

Who you are and what this is about
Have you lost touch with your sense of self, the values and beliefs that define you, and your purpose, goals, or motivations in life.

Are you left out in the open
Have you become exposed or vulnerable, left without a shield, without protection, or without support.

Your thoughts more than you can bear
Have you been inundated with worries, doubts, fears, regrets, or anxieties, to the point that your mind is overwhelmed and your mental health is suffering.

Is the distance you have traveled
Have you been on a journey, physical or metaphorical, that has taken you far from where you started, and that has left you changed, tired, or disorientated.

Left you unaware
Have you lost your sense of direction or perspective, become disoriented, or missed something important along the way.

Of what this is about
Of the true essence or meaning of life, of what really matters, of what gives life purpose and fulfillment.

It's a Savior on the cross
It refers to the belief in Jesus Christ as the son of God, who died on the cross to save humanity from sin and death, and offer the promise of eternal life through faith and grace.

It's a gift that can't be lost
It's the gift of salvation, redemption, and forgiveness, that once received, cannot be taken away, lost, or diminished, regardless of one's past or present actions.

It's something that we need
It is not an option or a luxury, but a necessity, a core need of human existence, for spiritual wellbeing, inner peace, and a life that transcends the fleeting and the mundane.

For peace and life and eternity
It is the ultimate source of peace of mind, life everlasting, and a connection to a higher purpose that extends beyond one's earthly life.

It's the grace that none can give
It's not something that can be earned or deserved, but a free and unmerited gift from God, that is given through faith alone, and that transcends human limitations or judgment.

It's a love we can't afford to miss
It is a love that is unconditional, selfless, and transformative, a love that has the power to heal, to unite, and to inspire, and that is too precious and too rare to ignore or reject.

It's not about you or me
It is not about individualism, selfishness, or pride, but about transcending oneself, embracing a larger purpose, and serving a greater good.

But in who we believe
But in the object of our faith, in the one who gives meaning, guidance, and comfort to our lives, in the one who is the source of all truth, goodness, and beauty.

It's not about you
It is not about your ego, your status, your possessions, or your pleasures, but about virtue, humility, generosity, and sacrificial love.

Its not about me
It is not about my interests, my desires, my fears, or my achievements, but about my duty, my responsibility, my service, and my gratitude.

It's not about where were coming from
It is not about our origin, our ethnicity, our social class, or our past struggles, but about where we are going, and the kind of person we want to become.

But in Who we believe
But in the faith we hold, the values we cherish, the actions we take, and the legacy we leave behind, all of which reflect our relationship with God and our commitment to His will.
