Verse 1 I don’t know how to say it all in words, every time I try it feel too small for what I’ve heard in my spirit when I slow down and just learn that You’ve been right here every time that I turned. Not just in the highs, not just when I’m right, but in every quiet moment, every late night, when I didn’t feel strong, when I didn’t have sight, You were still drawin’ near, You were still in my life. And it’s wild how I missed it for so long, tryna find what I needed in the wrong songs, tryna build somethin’ real with a weak foundation, tryna fill that space with imitation. But then You stepped in, no pressure, no force, just a gentle kind of pull that I couldn’t ignore, and I felt something real I ain’t felt before, like my heart finally found what it’s searchin’ for. I ain’t talkin’ religion, I ain’t talkin’ a trend, I’m talkin’ real connection I don’t gotta pretend, I’m talkin’ about a love that don’t break or bend, that stays right there from the start to the end. And I don’t gotta clean up just to come close, I don’t gotta be perfect just to be known, You see every part that I try not to show, and You still call me near like I’m already home. That kind of love I can’t explain away, it don’t fade with time, it don’t drift or change, it’s deeper than a feeling, it’s a different kind of place, and I just wanna stay there, I don’t wanna walk away. So I lean in closer, I don’t hold back now, I don’t question Your presence, I don’t run around, I just sit in the peace that I’ve finally found, and let my heart say what it couldn’t say out loud. Hook You’re closer than my breath, I feel You right here, not distant, not far, You been drawin’ me near, I don’t gotta reach out, I don’t gotta fear, You’ve been with me the whole time, perfectly clear. Through God the Father, I know I’m embraced, through Jesus my Savior, I’m held in Your grace, through the Spirit that moves, I don’t feel out of place, You’re closer than my breath—I’m right here with You. Verse 2 I used to think I had to chase You down, like I had to go search just to turn around and find where You were, like You moved somehow, but I see now You never left my ground. It was me runnin’ off, it was me gettin’ lost, it was me tryna lead when I didn’t know the cost, but You never let go, even when I was off, You stayed right there, never cut me off. That kind of patience don’t make sense to me, I know how I am, I know what I’ve seen, I know all the moments I wasn’t clean, but You still reached out and covered me. Through Jesus Christ, I finally saw what it means to be loved without a clause, not based on my effort, not based on my flaws, but based on a truth that don’t come with a cost. And I can’t lie, it changed how I move, I don’t see life the same, I got a different view, I don’t chase after things that I used to pursue, I just stay right here, I stay close to You. That’s enough for me, I don’t need more, I don’t need to open another door, I’ve already found what my heart was for, and I don’t wanna go back to before. Through the Spirit I feel when I’m startin’ to fade, He reminds me again I don’t have to be afraid, He leads me right back when I start to drift away, and I find myself back in that same place. And God the Father, You steady my heart, when I feel like I’m fallin’ or driftin’ apart, You pull me right back, You don’t leave me in dark, You stay right here, right where You are. Hook You’re closer than my breath, I feel You right here, not distant, not far, You been drawin’ me near, I don’t gotta reach out, I don’t gotta fear, You’ve been with me the whole time, perfectly clear. Through God the Father, I know I’m embraced, through Jesus my Savior, I’m held in Your grace, through the Spirit that moves, I don’t feel out of place, You’re closer than my breath—I’m right here with You.
