Closer Than My Breathing

[Verse 1]
When my heart is racing
When my thoughts run wild
You are in the chaos
Speaking to your child
In the quiet kitchen
In the traffic line
You are here beside me
Closer than my mind
[Chorus]
You are closer than my breathing
Nearer than my skin
You surround my every moment
Outside
Deep within
I was lost but you were waiting
Right where I have been
You are closer than my breathing
I can rest in this
[Verse 2]
When the night feels heavy
When the day feels long
You are still my shelter
You become my song
Every doubt that haunts me
Every hidden ache
Meets a love unshaken
Stronger than the grave
[Chorus]
You are closer than my breathing
Nearer than my skin
You surround my every moment
Outside
Deep within
I was lost but you were waiting
Right where I have been
You are closer than my breathing
I can rest in this
[Bridge]
You don’t walk away (never)
When I pull away
You just call my name
Till my fear gives way
Every step I take
You are there
You stay
You are there
You stay (you stay)
[Chorus]
You are closer than my breathing
Nearer than my skin
You surround my every moment
Outside
Deep within
I was blind but now I’m seeing
You were here
You are here
You are closer than my breathing
I have nothing to fear

Warm modern worship ballad in 6/8, gentle piano and fingerpicked guitar at first, male vocals intimate and close. Pads and soft drums rise into a soaring chorus with stacked harmonies on the hook. Bridge lifts with toms and a simple lead guitar answering the vocal, then drops back to a hush for the final chorus., worship
