The Hebrews knew it first
That God Almighty was all-seeing.
Not withstanding humanity’s curse
The Man/God relationship was what was freeing.
-
So Holy was God’s name “Yahweh”
The nation, in awe, would avoid saying it.
But by God’s design and prevailing way
From birth to death everyone says it.
-
Even more pronounced when under duress
Your every breath pants it out in exclamation!
Next time you pant after a run, or any distress
Note your inhale/exhale proclamation -
-
Yah-weh, Yah-weh, Yah-weh, Yah-weh…
God’s name is ever more proclaimed!
Christian and unbeliever both say
The Lord Almighty’s name, forever famed.
-
The Police of the 80’s, and their popular song lyrics
Remind us of the Hebrew’s knowledge.
As “Every Breath You Take” mimics
God’s extraordinary plan – embrace that edge!
-
"Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
-
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
-
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you… "

from The Police album Synchronicity (1983).
