Breathe

(album: Jubilee: The Juneteenth Edition - 2021)

This goes out to the worried
This goes out to the stressed
Sorting out a million thoughts running through your head

To everyone that's waiting
For better days ahead
Tired and frustrated and leaving words unsaid

Please don't hold your breath

Just breathe
'Cause it's a miracle we can breathe
There's power in the way that we breathe
Release your heavy burdens

And let everything that has breath, praise the Lord
This is why we have breath, so praise the Lord (Praise, praise, praise)

Sometimes you're in the desert
Sometimes you feel the pain
Sometimes He calms a storm and sometimes He let's it rain
Please don't hold your breath

Just breathe (It's a miracle)
This is a miracle, we can breathe (C'mon, release the breath of God)
There's power in the way that we breathe ('Cause it's power)
Release your heavy burdens

And let everything that has breath, praise the Lord
This is why we have breath, praise the Lord

Just breathe (Sing, "It's a miracle")
It's a miracle we can breathe (There's power in)
There's power in the way that we breathe (Release your heavy burdens)
Release your heavy burdens

And let everything that has breath, praise the Lord (This is why we have breath)
This is why we have breath, praise the Lord

Somebody praise the Lord
Praise the Lord

And I can feel my lungs
Taking air again
Just breathing, I'm breathing in oxygen

And I can feel my strength
It's coming back again
Breathing, breathing in oxygen
Say it y'all, say, "I can feel my lungs, yeah"

I can feel my lungs (Taking air again)
Taking air again (Breathing)
Breathing, breathing in oxygen (I can feel my strength)

I can feel my strength (It's coming back again)
It's coming back again (Breathing)
Breathing (Hey)
Breathing in oxygen

I can feel my lungs (I can feel my lungs)
It's taking air again (Taking air again)
Breathing, breathing in oxygen

I can feel my strength (I can feel my strength)
Coming back again (Coming back again)
Oh, breathing ( I'm breathing)
I'm breathing in oxygen (Let's say, "I can feel my heart, I can feel my...")

I can feel my heart (There it goes again)
There it goes again (It's beating)
It's beating, I'm breathing in oxygen (One more time, let's go)

I can feel my heart, ya, ,ya, ay (I can feel my heart)
There it goes again (There it goes again)
It's beating (Beating)
Breathing in oxygen

When everything is happy, I praise the Lord
Bless the Lord in all times
Praise Him continually
Continually be in my lungs
Always, always, from the mountain to the valley

I will bless the Lord
Oh, my soul
And all that is within me

Yes, I will bless the Lord (Oh, my soul)
Oh, my soul
And all that is within me (Hey, one more time, one more time, say)

I will bless the Lord (Oh, my soul)
Oh, my soul (And all that)
And all that is within me

I'm gonna praise the Lord (Praise the Lord)
Praise the Lord (Praise the Lord)
I'm gonna praise the Lord (Praise the Lord)
If I have breath, I'm gonna praise the Lord (Praise the Lord)
Praise the Lord (Praise the Lord)
I'm gonna praise the Lord (Praise the Lord)
If I have breath

So let everything that has breath, praise the Lord
This is why we have breath, praise the Lord

So let everything that has breath, praise the Lord
(This is why we're breathing, this is why we're living)
This is why we have breath, praise the Lord

That means
I won't use it to complain
I won't use it to whine all day

I won't use it to hate
I have a better purpose for my breath
I'm breathing to worship
I'm breathing to believe
I'm breathing to tell my testimony

Oh, that's why I have breath
This is why we have breath
To praise the Lord

Any other use of it
Is beneath it
So praise the Lord

Some of the ways that I've used it
I realized they weren't worth it
The reason I'm here today is to praise the Lord
