Ma Ganna Husmak Pasa Lyrics

With every single breath that I take,
with every single day that I spend,
you are a Father who loves me,
you are a place of refuge for me

You are great strength to me,
you are light to me,
I had become a sinner,
and you rescued me out of it

I was living on the garbage heap,
and you lifted me up out of it,
I was sinking down in the miry swamp,
and you pulled me out of it

What more is there for me to say,
you are my God, my Lord,
with every breath, with every day

This is a hymn of steady, breath-by-breath gratitude, the kind of thanks that measures itself not in grand moments but in the ordinary rhythm of living. Its frame is beautifully constant: “with every single breath that I take, with every single day that I spend.” God’s love and protection are not occasional gifts but the very air the singer breathes, present in each inhale and each new morning. He names God plainly, “a Father who loves me,” “a place of refuge,” “great strength,” “light.”

The middle verses tell the story of rescue in three vivid, biblical images of being lifted from the lowest places. “I had become a sinner, and you rescued me out of it.” “I was living on the garbage heap, and you lifted me up,” echoing the Psalm where God “raises the poor from the ash heap.” “I was sinking down in the miry swamp, and you pulled me out,” recalling the Psalm where God “lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire.” Each line pairs the singer’s helplessness with God’s action, and God is always the one who reaches down.

The ending gives up trying to list it all: “what more is there for me to say, you are my God.” Some gratitude is too large for a full accounting, and the only fitting response is simply to name whose one is. What the listener is left with is a humble, restful thankfulness, a rescued person who feels God’s love in every breath and day, and who, having been lifted from the ash heap and the mire, needs no more words than “you are my God.””
