Closer Than the Breath (Deeply Moving)

Verse 1

When I was tired of carrying my name

You met me gently, never asked me to explain

At the kitchen table, with the morning coming through

I found a kind of mercy waiting there in You

Pre-Chorus

Every wound I tried to hide

You held without turning aside

Chorus

Jesus, You are here, You are here

Closer than the breath that calms my fear

When my hands let go, Your love remains

Jesus, I will trust Your name

Verse 2

I remember rain against the window glass

And the prayer I thought would never make it past

Then a quiet strength rose up inside my chest

Not because I understood, but You had not left

Pre-Chorus

Every road I walked alone

Led me back to mercy's throne

Chorus

Jesus, You are here, You are here

Closer than the breath that calms my fear

When my hands let go, Your love remains

Jesus, I will trust Your name

Bridge

At the cross, You called me wanted

From the grave, You called me free

In the night, You keep Your promise

You are all I need

Chorus

Jesus, You are here, You are here

Closer than the breath that calms my fear

When my hands let go, Your love remains

Jesus, I will trust Your name

Outro

I will trust Your name

I will trust Your name

Jesus, You are here
