As Sure as Breath is Life

Lifeless desert sand dunes, a grove of trees for shade,
A family: Abram, Sarai, Ishmael, Hagar (Sarai's maid).
Manipulative, backfired plans that sprung from faithless doubt
Yet El Roi wasn't finished; He knew what would come out
Of all the mess;
He still would bless.
As sure as breath was life.

These words spoken from heaven: "Almighty God am I.
Walk "all in" before me; make My Name your first cry.
A sure, abounding covenant, a name-change so intentional
By man's standards so strange and extremely unconventional.
The "h" sound entails
A distinct exhale
As sure as breath is life.

The name given to the Spirit in Hebrew is Ruah
It literally means "the outbreathing;" a fact our Father foresaw.
When the Father changed the name, He exhaled for the "h" sound,
Making the name Abra[h]am: Jehovah's breath in Abram found.
Abraham
Father of many lands
As sure as breath is life.

When anyone receives Him, they have a new identity,
Christ in them, the Hope of glory, in one holy entity.
The Holy Spirit takes His place, Ruah breathes anew.
And enables us to reproduce as we His glory pursue.
Abba smiles--
Breath-fills His child
As sure as breath is life.
