O’ Breath of Life,
I am here,
Dismiss me from this seasoned flesh
Thy river quench my aching thirst
O’ Warrior in the Wilderness

O’ Breath of Life,
I am here,
Beneath this coat of rotting flesh
Standing by thy rivers edge
A Warrior in the Wilderness

Yea I am here,
Here am I,
In silent whispers where evil speaks
Though look beyond this beaten shell
Of mortal darkness where shadows creep

Lo’ behold I shall not yield
Yet, resist Satan’s pride
My spirit wield God's Holy Truth
My shield avert unholy lies
I guard the gate of my mind
Breathe the silence of thy soul
Forsaken be O’ hearts of men
In darkness where such death unfolds

Yea I am here,
Here am I,
God’s armor cloak my spirits breath
Tears of death upon thy sword
A Warrior in this Wilderness

Oh I am here,
Here am I,
O’ Holy Spirit hear my song
Awakened from an aging shell
I answer to Your Spirit call

Yea I am here,
Here am I,
Standing bold with God’s elect
Spirits sing, Christ Jesus reign
O’ Warriors in the Wilderness!
