Let Everything That Has Breath
CeCe Winans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord you set my soul on fire, object of my desire
I finally realize that I need You in my life
Right here by my side, You cover me day and night
And I just wanna thank you
Thank you for your mercies

Hallelujah for saving me
Hallelujah for healing my body
Hallelujah for joy You bring
Let everything that hath breath give you praise (in the morning)
Praise (in the noonday song)
Praise (in the midnight)
Let everything that hath breath give it to You

When You pulled me up out of sin
When my body had done me in
There was nothing until You stepped in and saved me
Now, now that I know the cost
That You paid for me on the cross
I just wanna say thank you
Give You the highest praise

If only one return to tell the story
If only one return to give you glory
With all my mind, body, soul and each breath in me
Let me be the one, let me be the one

Would You let me be the one?
Because of all I have I know I gotta praise Him
Would You let me be the one?
I'll be the first and last to give Him everything
Would You let me be the one?




And if all I had was to give Him all my praise
Would You let me be the one?

Each recording increases in anointing and power. God has truly outdone Himself with this servant's voice and willingness to deliver His messages through song.
