Breathing Life
Salvador Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You paint the morning with the motion of Your hand
You move the water make and ocean from dry land
And everything that lives in heaven and on earth
You have created from the dawn of every birth

[Chorus]
Breathing Life
Breathing Life
Breathing Life
Breathing Life

You raised the mountains up to reach and touch the sky
You forged the depth of pain and crossed the river wide
You built a bridge that reached from heaven down to me
And though I'm unworthy, once a captive now I'm free

[Chorus]

Breathe life oh breathe life into me
And let Your fire consume me





[Chorus: Repeat until fade]

The first two lines of the song capture the theme of recognition and gratitude towards the Creator for his artistic ability in shaping the surroundings. The lyric "You paint the morning with the motion of your hand" provides a vivid image of the sunrise bringing light and color with an artist's brushstroke. The line "You move the water make an ocean from dry land" shows how the same hands, with incomprehensible creativity, showcase their power in forming a miracle out of the most arid of conditions.


The second verse starts with the praise to the Creator's immense power and strength, "You raised the mountains up to reach and touch the sky." The verse moves to showcase human frailties and the shortcomings that the Creator overcomes in despite of His creation's less than perfect state. The declaration "You built a bridge that reached from heaven down to me, and though I'm unworthy, once a captive now I'm free" speaks to the symbolic support and solidarity of the divine intervention in mankind's redemption.


The song's lyrics celebrate the relationship between man and the Creator, as well as the humility and gratitude that arise as a result.
