EVERY BREATH

“He breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit"” Jn20:22
Verse 1
Every breath I take,… Jesus, let me breathe with You;
Every prayer I make,… Jesus, let me pray with You.
You take the air I breathe, You make it life to me;
Your Holy Spirit breathing in me.
With every breath I take, with every prayer I make,
With every breath, dear Lord, let it be with You.
Verse 2
Every breath I take,… Jesus, let me breathe with You;
Every prayer I make,… Jesus, let me pray with You.
You saw this lump of dirty clay, but You loved it anyway;
You breathed the breath of life in me and now I want to say…
With every breath I take, with every prayer I make,
With every breath, dear Lord, let it be with You.
Chorus
Thy kingdom come,… thy will be done…
Here I am, Lord… I am Your son.
Give me this day,… my daily bread…
Upon Your Word,… I am well fed.
Every breath I take,… every prayer I make,…
Holy Spirit (2x- I just want to) bring… glory to the (2x-my) King.
My life is in Your hands, Lord;… Be it unto me
As You will, dear Lord, let it be.
Verse 3
Every breath I take,… Jesus, let me breathe with You;
Every prayer I make,… Jesus, let me pray with You.
You lifted me on eagles’ wings, gave me a... new song to sing;
Once a pauper’s child, now I’m a son of the King..., so
With every breath I take, with every prayer I make,
With every breath, dear Lord, let me say with You...
[Repeat Chorus]
Fin
My life is in Your hands, Lord;… Be it unto me
As You will, dear Lord, let it be… As You will, dear Lord, let it be.
