lyrics
Next Breath
VERSE 1:
Let me start by saying first that I understand that
I don't know you
And I don't pretend to know the pain, the shame, the hell you been through
I hear that your light is fading,
thinking hard about escaping.
So let me ask you what's the lie that you been buying, what's the bait that you believing, barely breathing, make you numb inside
Are you unloved, you unworthy? undeserving, all alone, misunderstood,useless, broken, bound, weak, or dirty?
Never get it right? Haunted by the thought of another sunrise
It seems easier to fade to black, it's just a trap.
CHORUS:
What if your joy comes in the morning?
What if there's hope beyond your next breath?
Verse 2:
Right now you're wrestling but your battle ain't against flesh and blood
You got an enemy trying to make you think that you're not enough.
Same voice that tortures you, same one that's luring you
"Come and rest dear, You tried your best dear."
What if you wake up on the other side and find a fraud?
Can't go back, can't undo, when you find he told you half the truth. Yes you're weak yes you're tired, but theres a God who is strong.
Yes you're broken now, but
CHORUS:
What if your joy comes in the morning?
What if there's hope beyond your next breath?
Verse 3:
There is a God who's calling out to you. He knows your name.
Every scar, every secret, he's touched by your pain
He was tested, He was tempted, betrayed by the ones he loved.
Rejected, forsaken accused and abandoned
He crawled to the cross saying Father forgive them
Seemed like it was over, Hope was dead and gone
But three days later
CHORUS:
Oh there was joy in the morning
And there is hope beyond your next breath
Verse 4:
You have a destiny that hell could not destroy
He knew this day would come before the world was even formed
So let His love wash over you now
Feel your reckless thoughts start to bow
under the weight of truth and grace that says you're a new creation, dark is gone, light has come so tell your story, sing your song
The evil that was meant to take you out God turn around and give you
CHORUS:
Joy in the morning
Yes there is hope beyond your next breath
