Breathe - Song History
Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
Received on May 25, 2010
In 2010 I embarked upon my first-ever forty day
fast. Why? Within a three week period I had major
surgery, married off a daughter and watched her
move to Australia, and then recorded a live album.
By the end of that period I was emotional and
mental toast. The Lord softly called me to reboot
my system with a fast. I received a song a day
over those forty days. This song came on day
two...when I felt I needed to simply catch my
spiritual breath, as it were. Breathe deeply...
The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Job 33:4 NASB
Verse
I don't even know what I need.
All that I know is that I need You!
The hunger and thirst of my heart?
All that I know is I need You!
Like a child needs a Father, I need You!
Like a desert needs the water, I need You!
Chorus
Lean so close that I feel You breathe.
Lean so close You quench this thirst in me!
Lean so close You loose these chains in me!
Set me free so I can breathe!
Verse
The world has grown so dark I can't see.
Reminding me just how much that I need You!
Much more than the air that I breathe, all that I know is I need You!
Like a child needs a Father, I need You!
Like a desert needs the water, I need You!
Chorus
Lean so close that I feel You breathe.
Lean so close You quench this thirst in me!
Lean so close You loose these chains in me!
Set me free so I can breathe!
Repeat Chorus and End
