Lead Sheet: Breathe In

Breathe In - Song History
WORDS & MUSIC
Dennis Jernigan
October 12, 2020

This song came as yet another song of personal ministry to me from the Lord. At times I grow weary of the battle I am going through with Parkinson’s. The loss of stamina. The restless nights. The mental fogginess. If I am not careful to take time to rest each day, the toll can be quite daunting and exhausting. Although I am firmly grounded in the truth of God’s Word and easily face down moments of panic, I must be honest and tell you there are moments when I feel like I am drowning in the physical strain of the battle. One of the keys to living the abundant life of Jesus Christ is simple. Just keep breathing! I choose to breathe in the life of Jesus each day. I choose to breathe in hope and joy and intimacy and the blessings that far outweigh any pain I may be facing on any given day. The power and presence of the Holy Spirit and the perspective of God give me grace to take in deep breaths of His love and power. Fear is put down and rest comes to my soul. It is during times of suffering - the storms of life - when Jesus often asks us to step out of the boat of our own strength and walk upon the water with Him in His strength. That is the basic story behind this song. May it encourage your soul as it does mine.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; [we are] afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you. 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 NASB

 

Verse

Knowing You is like coming up for air 

When I've been drowning 

In my sorrow and despair

 

Knowing You is like coming up for air 

And You surrounding me 

With Your life-giving air

 

Chorus

You are the life that I need 

When life would overwhelm me 

You are the Mighty Rushing Wind 

Pouring Your life into me 

 

And I breathe in deeply! 

Breathe in deeply! 

I just breathe in! 

Breathe in! 

 

You are the air that I need 

You are the air that I breathe 

You are the joy of my existence 

And the Wind beneath my wings 

 

And I breathe in deeply! 

Breathe in deeply! 

I just breathe in! 

I breathe in! 

I breathe in! 

 

Verse

Knowing You is like coming up for air 

When I've been gasping 

For the grace that You're there 

 

Knowing You is like coming up for air 

To find You grasping 

Me and the burdens I bear 

 

Chorus

You are the life that I need 

When life would overwhelm me 

You are the Mighty Rushing Wind 

Pouring Your life into me 

 

And I breathe in deeply! 

Breathe in deeply! 

I just breathe in! 

Breathe in! 

 

You are the air that I need 

You are the air that I breathe 

You are the joy of my existence 

And the Wind beneath my wings 

 

And I breathe in deeply! 

Breathe in deeply! 

I just breathe in! 

I breathe in! 

I breathe in! 

 

Bridge

Mighty Rushing Wind! 

Pow'r to rise again! 

Your hand reaching out to help me 

Walk upon the water! 

 

Mighty Rushing Wind! 

Fill me up again! 

Breathing in the air of Your love! 

The very love of the Father! 

My Father!

 

Chorus

You are the life that I need 

When life would overwhelm me 

You are the Mighty Rushing Wind 

Pouring Your life into me 

 

And I breathe in deeply! 

Breathe in deeply! 

I just breathe in! 

Breathe in! 

 

You are the air that I need 

You are the air that I breathe 

You are the joy of my existence 

And the Wind beneath my wings 

 

And I breathe in deeply! 

Breathe in deeply! 

I just breathe in! 

I breathe in! 

I breathe in!
