Take my sorrow and my sin
I will run into your arms again
Hold me father
Once again my tears are dried
By your perfect love that's river-wide

With my arms overhead
I am overcome
As I breathe

Drawing in your fragrance
When I breathe
I feel your fullness come alive
Inside of me
You're the breath that I breathe
Covered by the evening sky
I turn my gaze to where your kingdom lies
Deep inside me
A silent whisper in my mind
Sweet surrender to your love divine
Peace enfolding
In the stillness I empty my soul
And your healing presence flows
As I breathe
The air of heaven
Drawing in your fragrance
When I breathe
I feel your fullness come alive
Inside of me
You're the breath that I breathe
