Even When I Can't Breathe

(Verse 1)

When the weight falls down like thunder,

And my chest won’t rise with ease,

When the silence screams around me,

And I’m falling to my knees—

You are not a distant Savior,

You are closer than my fear,

In the shadows of my struggle,

You are whispering, "I'm here."

(Chorus)

Even when I can’t breathe,

You are the breath inside of me.

Even when the light fades,

You are the flame that still remains.

When I am breaking,

You’re the strength that carries me.

I’m never alone,

You’re with me —

Even when I can’t breathe.

(Verse 2)

When the night feels never-ending,

And the tears won't let me sleep,

I remember on the mountain

You still loved the lost and weak.

You don't wait for me to climb there,

You come walking on the sea,

And You hold me through the fire,

You’re the calm inside of me.

(Chorus)

Even when I can’t breathe,

You are the breath inside of me.

Even when the light fades,

You are the flame that still remains.

When I am breaking,

You’re the strength that carries me.

I’m never alone,

You’re with me —

Even when I can’t breathe.

(Bridge)

You don’t leave when I’m undone,

You don’t run from what I’ve become.

You hold my heart through every ache—

Jesus, You are my escape.

You are my rescue, my release,

My peace in the war beneath.

(Final Chorus)

Even when I can’t breathe,

You are the breath inside of me.

Even when the light fades,

You are the flame that still remains.

When I am breaking,

You’re the strength that carries me.

I’m never alone,

You’re with me —

Even when I can’t breathe.

(Outro)

So I’ll breathe You in again...

Jesus, You’re my oxygen.
