My first worship original! This is an unofficial rough draft I produced with Garageband while recovering a fever. One day I'll find someone to produce it. I hope this song touches you!
SONG STORY
Many times I find myself striving and always prioritizing my worries above everything. Transitioning out of high school was overwhelmingly stressful for me at first, but ironically I began to understand the value of rest. Simply resting in his presence. Even during the middle of our most chaotic situations, we have the opportunity to breathe God in, and breathe out our praise as a response because he's always worthy. Once we decide to step into his presence, we become renewed like children, ready to be surprised by his goodness. I originally posted this so the worship team could learn the song, but oops. Everyone ended up seeing it haha.
LYRICS
VERSE 1
You bring life to the grave
You bring rest to the weary hearts
And in the midst of the chaos
You taught me to rest upon the waves
CHORUS
I breathe in your presence
I breathe out my praise to you
I give you my whole heart
and you make me a child again
And you raise me to life again
And then you surprise me again
VERSE 2
You shine hope on all disappointments
You shine joy over all depression
And in the night when I'm surrounded
You shine like the light of day
BRIDGE
With every breath, I'll sing your praise
With every shout, I'll lift your name
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
I breathe you in, I breathe you out
TAG
Without you, I am barely breathing
Without you, my soul is suffering
Without you, nothing else matters
Cause you are my oxygen
You are my oxygen (x3)
And I breathe you in
