Through the leaves it rustles,
Wind dances on my skin:
It whispers of love,
How life did begin.

The Lord God formed man
Of dust from the ground;
I hear of this truth
As wind whistles ‘round.

God breathed into man
The breath of life;
Man became a living creature,
Then God gave him a wife.

God is the Source of life,
Adam and Eve He did create;
His breath of life within me
I now celebrate.

This life-giving breath
God shares with you, with me;
Let us praise our Creator
Now and for all eternity.

For what would we be
If it were not for God’s love?
Surely we are nothing
Without grace from Above.

Though You formed man
Of dust from the ground,
To man Your tender mercies
Eternally abound.

How I love You, O Lord,
From You all life did begin.
I hear You in the wind,
I feel Your breath of life within.

Then the Lord God formed the man of dust
from the ground and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life,
and the man became a living creature.
Genesis 2:7
