With My Last Breath

With My Last Breath
w/m Bill & Karen Itzel


His hands and His feet were nailed to the cross
His time here on earth, almost done
Evil rejoiced that Jesus had lost
But by Giving His life up, He won


In the heat of the day, the pronouncement was made
“It is finished”, the Maker cried
“Into Your hands, my spirit I give”
And breathing His last breath, He died


Prechorus
But this story won’t end in sadness and death
But victory over the grave


Chorus
All praise to Him who sits on the throne
Who gives strength to the children so weak
Of His mercy and power, justice and grace
May the words of my life always speak
* From the summit of mountains to the lowest abyss
In the apex of life or in death
Lord give me the passion, the courage to speak
To praise You with my last breath


His hands and feet were bound to the stake
Knowing the torment to come
His faith in the cross he had shared with no fear
But his work for the Lord wasn't done


In the heat of the fire he called out to God
But it wasn't for freedom he cried
“The Lord is my Savior, in Him do I trust”
Were the words on his lips as he died


Prechorus
Chorus
Chorus
*
To praise You with my last breath
To praise You with my last breath
