Lead Sheet: Just Keep Breathing

Just Keep Breathing
Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
May 20, 2014

I believe God surrounds us all with songs
of deliverance. I believe He sings over
us His love. This song is one of those
songs. After a couple of friends asked
me to pray for them concerning a spiritual
battle each was facing, I went to the
Father and cried out to Him on their
behalf...and this song was born as a result.


I have often said that as long as
I have breath I have hope...and I
believe that to be true even after
all these years. It is when I put my
hope in other things or other people
rather than in my God that I find myself
in trouble. The wisdom of the world is
based on the strength and wisdom of
man...and man is beset by sin.
My wisdom comes from seeing my life
from my Creator's point of view...even
when - especially when - bad things happen.
God is always in control even when my
life appears to be careening out of control.


I encourage you to disregard me and
hear Father's heart for you in this song.

Blessings,
Dennis Jernigan

...for in Him we live and move and exist, as even
some of your own poets have said, 'For we also
are His children.'

Acts 17:28 NASB

 

Just Keep Breathing

Verse
When your feelings have grown numb
When you don’t care if death should come
Just keep breathing
Just keep breathing
Breathe Me in
Breathe Me out
Breathe away the fear and doubt
Just keep breathing
Just keep breathing

Chorus
For as long as you have breath
There is always some hope left
Cease your striving for My love and simply be
For as long as you can breathe
Keep your eyes fixed here on Me
Take My presence in and find your rest in Me
And remember
Always remember
To Breathe

Verse
In the desert of your pain
Longing for one drop of rain
Just keep breathing
Just keep breathing
Child, you cannot save yourself
Hope in Me and no one else
Just keep breathing
Just keep breathing

Chorus
For as long as you have breath
There is always some hope left
Cease your striving for My love and simply be
For as long as you can breathe
Keep your eyes fixed here on Me
Take My presence in and find your rest in Me
And remember
Always remember
To Breathe

Bridge
Put no hope in any feeling
Put no hope in your own strength
Greener grass is never really all it seems
Put no hope in worldly wisdom
Put on hope in plans and schemes
Hope is found here in My arms
Just stop and breathe
Just breathe

Chorus
For as long as you have breath
There is always some hope left
Cease your striving for My love and simply be
For as long as you can breathe
Keep your eyes fixed here on Me
Take My presence in and find your rest in Me
And remember
Always remember
To Breathe
