Artist/Band: Fred Hammond
Lyrics for Song: Breathe Into Me Oh Lord
Lyrics for Album: The Spirit of David [1996]



When the battle makes me weary

It seems that I lost ground

It's so hard to hear your voice Lord

With distractions all around

I try to lift my hands to give you praise

But then a spirit of heaviness

Tries to shield your face



[chorus]

Breathe into me, oh Lord

The breath of Life

So that my spirit would be whole

And my soul may rise

Breathe into me, oh Lord

Day by day

So that my heart is pure before you

Always, always



Unto thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my soul

It's only by your hand

That I can be made whole

So Lord, breathe on me

And revive my spirit within

And I'll never be the same



[chorus]



Condemnation tries to hold me like a prisoner in chains

And the weight of my burdens, is calling out my name

That's when I lift up my voice to worship you because I know

You promised you would wash me white as snow



Unto thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my soul

It's only by your hand

That I can be made whole

So Lord, let your breath revive me again

And I'll never be the same x3



[chorus]
