One Heartbeat Higher

I worship You with my very breath

Each moment lived, defying death

A war within I cannot hide

But still, I praise on the battlefield inside

In silence loud, in trembling fear

You draw me close, You hold me near

So I will lift these weary hands

Though they shake, they take a stand

Every scar, a sacred line

Etched by grace, forever mine

I worship not from ease but fire

Every breath takes me one heartbeat higher

The battle rages in my mind

But even then, Your light I find

Through every tear, through every ache

An anthem rises for Your name’s sake

When I am weak, still I remain

A voice of praise in spite of pain

So I will lift these weary hands

Though they shake, they take a stand

Every scar, a sacred line

Etched by grace, forever mine

I worship not from ease but fire

Every breath takes me one heartbeat higher

Held together by Your hand

Even when I barely stand

Faith ignites the darkest night

I’m still alive — I’m still in the fight

So I will lift these weary hands

Though they shake, they take a stand

Every scar, a sacred line

Etched by grace, forever mine

I worship not from ease but fire

Every breath takes me one heartbeat higher

Yes, every breath takes me one heartbeat higher
