EVERY BREATH I BREATHE COMES FROM YOU
I’ll never take it for granted
All that I have all I’ve ever needed
You have provided
You know when I sit You know when I rise
You know my thoughts completely
You hem me in before and behind
Such love is hard to describe
You are my God You are my God
As long as I have breath I will sing of Your greatness
You are my source my all in all
My first love the One I love
You are my God
Precious to me are Your thoughts O God
No wisdom or knowledge is greater
Praise be to You Name above all names
Who reigns forever ever and ever (x3)
Who reigns forevermore
You reign forever ever and ever (x3)
You reign forevermore

You Are My God Song Meaning
The song recognises God as giver, provider, all-knowing Lord, first love, and eternal King. Every breath becomes a reason to praise the One who knows and surrounds us.
Biblical Message
Psalm 139:1–6 describes God knowing our thoughts, sitting, rising, and path. Acts 17:25 says He gives everyone life and breath, while Psalm 139:17 treasures His thoughts as precious.
Reflection
Life feels different when breath and provision are received as gifts. Gratitude grows from noticing the God who knows us completely and still draws near.
