Closer Than the Breath (Moving Contemporary)

Verse 1

When I could not lift my eyes

You met me by the mercy seat

No thunder split the quiet room

Just kindness underneath my knees

Pre-Chorus

You knew the name I tried to hide

You held the pieces I denied

Chorus

Jesus, You are here with me

Closer than the breath I breathe

At the cross, my fear lets go

In Your wounds, I’m coming home

Jesus, faithful through it all

You have caught me when I fall

Every road and every season

Leads me back to You, my Jesus

Verse 2

I remember hospital halls

And the note beside my mother’s bed

A borrowed Bible, trembling hands

Your promises were all I had

Pre-Chorus

The morning did not change at once

But You stayed when the night was long

Chorus

Jesus, You are here with me

Closer than the breath I breathe

At the cross, my fear lets go

In Your wounds, I’m coming home

Jesus, faithful through it all

You have caught me when I fall

Every road and every season

Leads me back to You, my Jesus

Bridge

Name above my sorrow

Light beneath my feet

King who wore a crown of thorns

Still You kneel for me

Nothing can separate us

Nothing can undo

The grave is empty, love has won

My whole life belongs to You

Chorus

Jesus, You are here with me

Closer than the breath I breathe

At the cross, my fear lets go

In Your wounds, I’m coming home

Jesus, faithful through it all

You have caught me when I fall

Every road and every season

Leads me back to You, my Jesus

Outro

My heart has found its resting place

In Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
