baby's breath
A baby's first breath declares His name:
Yahweh: Our Good Creator.
The ancient letters Y-H-W-H
are more than just a name
As the lungs first fill with air,
the sound that's heard is "Yah"
And as the babe exhales,
the sound that's made is "weh"
In and out
the breath of life
Is there
Inside the lungs!
His name: the only word they know
And then, those babies cry
Their first reaction to this life:
It's uncomfortable, this world!
In their cry they sing of hope
For comfort from another
Their cry declares His name and then,
declares their need for mother
We all once took our last first breath,
And there we cried for help
We most consider each precious babe
As able to declare the name of God: Yahweh
It's the name you still declare today
Every time you breathe
So remember that even if you lack the words
You'll always speak His name:
YHWH
