breath by breath

I feel the weight upon my chest again

Got me scared to death again

Lord, make it go away

Feeling like the walls are closing in

Claustrophobic in my skin

I thought I had more faith

But I can’t shake this rising

Panic in my bones

I can’t stop the darkness

Stealing from my soul

Begging for an answer

Crying out for peace

The storm only gets louder

But You speak over me

 

Just be still, come and rest

Learn to live, breath by breath

Nothing more, nothing less

I am here

I am with you, breath by breath

I thought I had it figured out before

Kept my fear behind the door

But love was breaking in

Reminding me of what I need to know

You're the one who’s in control

So I’m surrendering

I may not have the answer

To my anxiety

But when I hear You whisper

Somehow there is peace

To be still, come and rest

Learn to live, breath by breath

Nothing more, nothing less

I am here

I am with you breath by breath

As I breathe in “it is well”

As I breathe out “You never fail”

Each moment, I’m a little less afraid

As I breathe in “it is well”

As I breathe out “You never fail”

Through it all, I can hear You say…

Just be still, come and rest

Learn to live, breath by breath

Nothing more, nothing less

I am here

I am with you, breath by breath

As I breathe in “it is well”

As I breathe out “You never fail”

Each moment, I’m a little less afraid
