Remember To Breathe

The lyrics to this song are very beautiful. Remembered these words this morning while thinking of a dear sister in the faith and godly mentor whose father died unexpectedly this week. I sent these words and the song to her just now.

Praying the words could encourage you as well in those moments where you feel like you can't breathe. And those moments do come and will come. Those moments where unexpected loss and defiant pain appear unapologetic in your life. Those moments where the season to mourn and the season to grieve begin or re-start in your life. Remember to breathe.

Remember To Breathe
Songwriters: Marcus Cole, Luther Mc Bride Hanes 

If I told you how I could get you through this
Would you find it hard to believe?
When tears like waves break through painful silence
And you fall down on your knees

Just remember to breathe, remember to breathe
You have what you need inside and you are still alive
So remember to breathe

When truth you believe leaves you wounded and shaken
And it causes you to retreat
When the wind you depended on is suddenly taken
And the blow that was thrown hurts so deep

Just remember to breathe, remember to breathe
You have what you need inside and you are still alive
So remember to breathe

For every moment is a gift
And every precious day that you're here
Don't forget to breathe deeply

With every breath that you take
Know it's never too late for God will make a way
And with one simple kiss your spirit will live again

If I told you now that the night is almost over
And the sun will shine upon your face
Would you promise me that you will dance before the Father?
Because there is so much in life you must embrace

Just remember to breathe, remember to breathe
You have what you need inside and you are still alive
So remember to breathe

So remember to breathe, remember to breathe
You have what you need inside
Yes, you are yet alive, so remember to breathe

For every moment is a gift
And every precious day that you're here
Don't forget to breathe, deeply

With every breath that you take
Know it's never too late for God will make a way
And with one simple kiss your spirit will live again
