Trilogy: Breathe In Me
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm alive
With the power of your holiness
You breathe in me
And you revive
Feelings in my soul
That I have laid to rest
I need you now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me
Maybe somehow
You can breathe new life
In me again
I used to be
So sensitive
To the light that leads
To where you are
Now I've acquired
These callouses
With the darkness of
A cold and jaded heart
So breathe in me
I need you now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me
Maybe somehow
You can breathe new life
In me again
In "Trilogy: Breathe In Me," Michael W. Smith seeks to communicate the power of God's holy breath in reviving the singer's soul. The first stanza describes the transformative power of God's breath, which makes the singer feel alive and renewed. The second stanza juxtaposes the singer's past sensitivity to the light of God with their current jadedness and indifference. The singer then pleads with God to breathe new life into them again and revive their spirit.
The song is a powerful meditation on the role of grace and spiritual transformation in a Christian's life. The lyrics use breath as a metaphor for the Holy Spirit's role in the act of creation and in sustaining life. The song suggests that God's love has the power to overcome even the most jaded and calloused heart. Ultimately, the song argues that one must surrender oneself to the transformative power of God's love in order to renew their relationship with Him.

Spiritual hardness and cynicism
With the darkness of
With the negativity and despair
