Borrowed Breath

Borrowed Breath

[Verse 1]

I came in with dust on my shoes

Fingers cold from the long night

Held together by a thread and a prayer

And a name I could not say

My chest was a room with no window

Too full of the things I lost

Still You found me in the quiet

Still You knew what I would cost

[Pre-Chorus]

So I lifted up my head

When I had nothing left

You met me in the ruin

And You spoke to what was dead

[Chorus]

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

You turned my ash to praise

You turned my night to dawn

Borrowed breath, I sing again

And I won't let go of You

[Verse 2]

There were days I wore my sorrow

Like a coat too heavy to move

Every door felt shut and shadowed

Every road looked like a wound

But I heard mercy in the hallways

Like water under the floor

And Your love came up around me

Like a song from the roots

[Pre-Chorus]

So I lifted up my hands

With the shaking still in me

You met me in the silence

And You made a hymn of me

[Chorus]

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

You turned my ash to praise

You turned my night to dawn

Borrowed breath, I sing again

And I won't let go of You

[Bridge]

If my voice breaks, keep me

If my faith shakes, stay near

I have walked through the deep end

But Your light is still here

Take the pieces, take the tears

Take the weight I cannot name

Put a new song in my bones

Put a fire in my frame

[Final Chorus]

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

You turned my ash to praise

You turned my night to dawn

Borrowed breath, I sing again

And I won't let go of You

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

Borrowed breath, I sing again

(You held me)

You wrote mercy in my name

You rolled the stone away

Borrowed breath, I sing again

And I won't let go of You
