But a Breath Away

Lyrics

Opening

But a breath away.

Verse 1

You've been talking to the ceiling,
Watching shadows cross the floor,
With a heart too tired for praying,
Wondering if God hears at all.
And the world outside keeps turning
While your own stands cold and still;
You have asked a thousand questions,
And the silence lingers still.

Chorus

God is but a breath away,
Closer than the words you cannot say.
When that presence feels unknown,
When you feel you're on your own,
You can bring the ache, the doubt, the fear,
You don't have to hide a single tear.
Though God seems a thousand miles away,
God is but a breath away.

Verse 2

God has seen the empty doorway,
God has heard the midnight cry,
And the brave face that you carry
Never hides the hurt inside.
You don't need a perfect promise,
You don't need a stronger song;
Just a whisper, “God, I'm weary.
Help me take the next step on.”

Chorus

God is but a breath away,
Closer than the words you cannot say.
When that presence feels unknown,
When you feel you're on your own,
You can bring the ache, the doubt, the fear,
You don't have to hide a single tear.
Though God seems a thousand miles away,
God is but a breath away.

Bridge

You can ask why it's still hurting,
You can say that life's unfair.
Even when your faith is trembling,
There is room for you in prayer.
And if all you have is silence,
If the words won't come today,
Let the breathing be your prayer now;
You are loved here as you wait.

Final chorus

God is but a breath away,
Closer than the words you cannot say.
Through the long and restless night,
Till you glimpse the morning light,
You can bring the ache, the doubt, the fear,
You don't have to hide a single tear.
Though God seems a thousand miles away,
God is but a breath away.

Outro

Take a breath, and let it go.
You are held more than you know.
Even here, even today,
God is but a breath away.
