I Need You More Than Breathing

Lyrics

Intro
I need You
I need You
I need You
More than anything

Verse 1
When the morning breaks and I’m still tired
When the weight I carry feels like fire
Every fear is shouting in my mind
You are still the peace I always find

When the voices say that I’m not enough
When my hands are shaking
Giving up
You have never turned Your face away
You are still the answer when I pray

Pre-Chorus
So I run to the One who is faithful
I fall on the grace that is sure
Every time that I reach for the darkness
You’re the light I remember

Chorus
I need You more than breathing
More than the air in my lungs
I need You every heartbeat
Every rise and every run
I need You in the mountain
I need You in the fall
Jesus
I need You
I need You in it all

Verse 2
In the quiet rooms where no one sees
When the doubts are louder than my dreams
You are there
A whisper in the dark
Calling back the pieces of my heart

When the battle rages in my chest
And I’m scared I’m failing every test
You’re the gentle hand that pulls me close
You’re the only hope my spirit knows

Pre-Chorus
So I cling to the truth You have spoken
Every promise You’ve made still stands
You have carried my soul through the shadows
I am safe
I am held in Your hands

Chorus
I need You more than breathing
More than the air in my lungs
I need You every heartbeat
Every rise and every run
I need You in the mountain
I need You in the fall
Jesus
I need You
I need You in it all

Chorus
I need You when I’m laughing
When every prayer feels like a song
I need You when I’m broken
When every step feels wrong
I need You when I’m standing
I need You when I crawl
Jesus
I need You
I need You in it all

Bridge
I need You in the waiting (I need You)
I need You in the storm (oh I need You)
I need You in the questions
When I can’t see the way forward

I need You in my weakness (I need You)
I need You in my strength
I need You in the future
And every moment that I’ve lived

Bridge
I need You in the midnight
I need You in the sun
I need You in the stillness
When every word is done

I need You in the ashes (I need You)
I need You in the flame
I need You when I wander
And when You call my name

Tag – Bridge
Oh I need You
I need You
Every second
Every breath
Oh I need You
I need You
You’re my life and You’re my rest

Chorus
I need You more than breathing
More than the air in my lungs
I need You every heartbeat
Every rise and every run
I need You in the mountain
I need You in the fall
Jesus
I need You
I need You in it all

Refrain
I need You
I need You (oh I need You)
I need You
I need You (every breath)
I need You more than breathing
I need You
Nothing less

Outro
I need You in the morning
I need You through the night
Jesus
I need You
Be my one desire
My only light
