BREATHE YOUR BREATH IN ME so I can sing
Breathe Your life that changes everything
Though I won’t forget the way I was Before You took me in
Set a rageing fire beneath my skin
Fan the flames and purify again
For I walk along the way
You set before my feet
As the shadows try to charm me
From the light
Lord I lift You high tonight
Further than my dreams can fly
Way beyond the stars floating in the sky
I lift You high
Hope is where the heart of wisdom
seeks
Faith is sure of what she cannot see
As I kneel before You now
You tell me ‘rise again’
For my burden is much lighter
In Your hands
Higher than the heavens
More than I can know
All my heart is singing
I’ll never let You go
Lord I lift You high tonight
Further than my dreams can fly
Way beyond the stars floating in the sky
Way beyond my heart will compromise
I lift You high
I lift You high
I lift You high
I lift You high
