Music Monday ~ Every Time I Breathe

After searching for a song that suited my mood this morning I came up empty handed. So I thought I would grab another cup of coffee and watch some old episodes of Life Today while waiting for the kids to wake up. I somehow stumbled upon this video of Big Daddy Weave performing Every Time I Breathe while they were on the show...for today it is the perfect expression of how I am feeling. I hope you enjoy it.



I am sure all of heaven's heard my cry
As I tell You all the reasons why
This life is just too hard

But day by day
Without fail I'm finding
Everything I need
In everything You are; to me

Chorus:
Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer
I never wanna leave,
I wanna stay in Your warm embrace
Oh, basking in the glory shining from Your face and
Every time I get another glimpse of Your heart,
I realize it's true
That You are
So marvelous, God,
And I am so in love with You.

Now how could I
After knowing One so great
Respond to You in any way
That's less than all I have to give?
But by Your grace I want to love You not with what I say
But everyday
In a way that my life is lived

Chorus:
Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer
I never wanna leave,
I wanna stay in Your warm embrace
Oh, basking in the glory shining from Your face and
Every time I get another glimpse of Your heart,
I realize it's true
That You are
So marvelous, God,
And I am so in love with You.

Wrapped in Your mercy I want to live and never leave
I am held by how humble
Yet overwhelmed by Your majesty
Captured by grace,
Now I'm finding
I am free
You are marvelous God
And knowing You
Is everything

Chorus:
Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer
I never wanna leave,
I wanna stay in Your warm embrace
Oh, basking in the glory shining from Your face and
Every time I get another glimpse of Your heart,
I realize it's true
That You are
So marvelous, God,
And I am so in love with You.

I am so in love with You.
I am so in love with You.

I have to agree with Michelle on this one- feel like I've been hugged and had the chance to return the hug to Jesus.I've heard this one before but never a live version.
Thanks, Shawntele!
