about

When God revealed Himself in the Old Testament, He uses the name YHVH. We have added vowels to make it more pronounceable: Yahweh or Jehovah. Hebrew linguists tell us that these letters are sounds of breathing.
Now in the context of a nation that made much of the 'otherness' of God, the distance between man and God, they looked at these letters and said, “it must be that God is so Holy that He has given Himself an unpronounceable name.
But isn't it just like God to reveal His name as the sound of our breathing.
You cannot but say His name every time you take a breath! When a child is born, is it that they must take their first breath to be alive, or is it that the name of God must be on their lips for them to truly be alive?

lyrics

Closer than the heart in my chest
Nearer than the words on my lips
Easier than breathing in
Surer than the breath flowing out

Each breath I take declares Your name
With every breath I proclaim

Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh Yahweh

You breathed your life into me
Without You I would not be
And so I breath back to You
The breath you’ve given to me

Each breath I take declares your name
With every breath I proclaim

Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh

Bridge:
There is no distance between us
Nothing more that can keep us
The name that could not be mentioned
You’ve united with our own breath

Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh
