Lyrics

Verse 1


This goes out to the worried


This goes out to the stressed


Sorting out a million thoughts running through your head


To everyone that’s waiting


For better days ahead


Tired frustrated and leaving words unsaid


Pre Chorus


Please don’t hold your breath


Chorus


Breathe


It’s a miracle we can breathe


There’s power in the way that we breathe


Release the heavy burden


And let everything that has breath, praise the Lord


This is why we have breath, praise the Lord


Verse 2


Sometimes you’re in the desert


Sometimes you feel the pain


Sometimes he calms the storm


Sometimes he lets it rain


Bridge


I can feel my lungs


Taking air again


Breathing


Breathing


In oxygen


I can feel my strength


Coming back again


Breathing


Breathing


In oxygen


I can feel my heart


There it goes again


Beating, breathing


In oxygen


Tribl is where artists with different stories come to share and experience the genesis of a new worship sound. To worship together with raw, unique, powerful and authentic praise.

Meaning & Inspiration

“Breathe” by Doe Jones, Jonathan McReynolds, Maverick City Music and Chandler Moore is addressed to people who are worried, stressed and waiting for better days. The first verse names tired and frustrated listeners with words left unsaid, and the pre-chorus asks them not to hold their breath.

The chorus treats breathing itself as a gift: “It’s a miracle we can breathe.” It invites listeners to release the heavy burden and sing, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” The second verse is honest about hard times, saying that sometimes God calms the storm and sometimes He lets it rain. The bridge describes lungs taking air again, strength returning and the heart beating once more.

The chorus quotes Psalm 150:6, and the idea of life given by breath is close to Genesis 2:7 and Job 33:4. The comfort in a storm recalls Mark 4:39. The song is quiet, personal and meant to slow a hurried listener down.
