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 Over-flowing As I stand on it's bank With my arms overhead I am overcome 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 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 It's taking hold It's second nature when I Savor, When I Savor You As I breathe
