The world presses in around me
Pressure suffocates, panic sets in
Breathe in deep the grace of God
.
Darkness inches forward, covering me
Cowered in a corner, I cannot see
Breathe in deep the light of Christ
.
Depression paralyzes me
Immobilized unable to move
Breathe deep the promises of God
.
Loneliness surrounds me, crowded by anxiety
Hidden away in seclusion, isolated
Breathe deeply the love of God
.
Grief and sadness fill me up
Tears submerse the joy
Drink deeply the joy of the Lord
Let living water quench your soul
.
The struggles of life wear me down
I struggle to breathe, to move forward
Let the Lord God fill you with the breathe of life
.
“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” – Genesis 2:7
