Breathe Into Me
Israel Houghton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only You take my breath away
Only You take my breath away
And then You breathe new life into me
So breathe into me
So breathe into me
So breathe into me
The lyrics to Israel Houghton's song Breathe Into Me express deep reverence and appreciation for God as the only one who can give the breath of life. The repetition of "Only You take my breath away" acknowledges God as the sole source of existence and the one who sustains life. The lyrics then go further to plead with God to breathe new life into the singer. This can be interpreted as a plea for spiritual renewal or guidance.
The chorus, with the repeated phrase "So breathe into me," underscores the singer's deep yearning for God's presence and involvement in their life. The song is not only a form of worship and adoration but also a cry for help, a reminder of the singer's dependence on God for everything. It is a beautiful reminder of the power of prayer and the importance of seeking God's presence in our lives.

Only You take my breath away
You, and only You have the power to render me breathless with awe and adoration.
And then You breathe new life into me
You revitalize and rejuvenate me with Your divine presence and grace.
So breathe into me
I implore You to fill me with Your spirit and essence.
Once again
I yearn to feel Your touch and experience Your comforting embrace once more.

Listening to this song as I sit in the hospital. I've had a battle with heroin for quite a while. But I've known God my whole life. Tears are flowing down my face as this song plays and as the doctors tell me that the blood clots that have flowed to my lungs are infected with bacteria and the blood in my body is infected. So I'm laying here tonight crying out to the Lord because I don't want to die like this. So Lord BREATHE IN TO ME!! BREATHE NEW LIFE OH GOD. TAKE AWAY EVERY DISIRE THAT OS CONTRARY TO YOU WILL FOR ME AND CAUSE MY BODY TO LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF God!
