The Lord gives
The Lord takes away
Like breathing in
Like breathing out
I want to hold this breath that I’ve been given
The Lord gives
The Lord takes away
Like ebbing tides
And flowing tides
I want to control this life that I am living
The Lord gives
The Lord takes away
But I am with you
Even when I walk on my own
You are with me
Even when I’m walking all alone
You are the air
Like breathing in
Like breathing out
You are my prayer
I’m breathing in
I’m breathing out
You turn the world beneath my feet
Carry me where I’m meant to be
Inside my soul is Your heartbeat
I belong to you
I hear Your voice half whispered in my thoughts
Like flowing tides
I feel Your grace – it’s surging through my faults
Like ebbing tides
But I am with You
Even when I crash to my knees
Even when I fall on my face
You are with me
Everything that’s broken in me
Every time I fall on Your grace
All this will pass away
This word will pass away
The Lord will stay
My fears will pass away
My dreams will pass away
My Lord will stay
These stars – these wars – will pass away
Like wisps of smoke are meant to fade
These days we live will pass away
The Lord will stay
My Lord will stay
Only the Lord will stay
The Lord gives
The Lord takes away
Like breathing in
Like breathing out
The Lord gives
The Lord takes away
Only the Lord stays
Carry me
Wash me clean
My life will mean what You want it to mean
Help me breathe
Break me free
I give you the girl that I thought I would be
Take this breathe
I’m breathing in
I’m breathing out
Take my control
Like ebbing tides
And flowing tides
Take all my fears and my dreams
The life You’ve given to me
The person I want to be
These are only grace I’ve received
…They’re Yours to give and take away
Don’t let me keep standing in Your way
You’re all I need… and all I know will stay
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Blessed be Your Name.
Amen.
