Pre Chorus:
I try to discover each and every day the reason I breathe and I question the reason I’m alive
I have been searching for answers and I’ve found answers in your word and I have found a peace that I cannot explain
I am sick and tired of living for myself and I am not going to live any longer because I have found my worth in all that you are
If I discover the reason you chose to breathe life into me, would I then be able to truly live for you

Chorus:
Please continue to show me the reason I why I live
Thank you for the gift of life you give
I cannot say it enough I want to live a life of purpose
I want to start living today and I see it no other way

Verse 1:
You are the reason I breathe I want to bring glory and honor to you alone
I want my life to be a testimony of the love you have shown
I cannot imagine living a life that is dead and I am asking for you to breathe life into me again
I thank you for being there for me when I was down and out

Verse 2:
I need you remind me the reason why I live so I can give you my all
Help me remember the reason you lifted me from the fall
I know I don’t deserve another breath but you give it to me anyway
So I will live for you and trust you with today

Inspired by the song The place where I belong by MercyMe of their album Coming up to Breathe

Pre Chorus:
I see this world falling away from the way we used to be
I cannot believe this is the state this world’s in oh Lord please help them see
That there is more to life than living for earthly possessions
I don’t know why people seem so blinded to the truth

Chorus:
My heart breaks so much to a point where I cannot go to sleep
And I am resting in your arms and I pray that tonight you sustain me
I pray that you would reveal to me your heart for the nations
So that they may see your works and glorify you

Verse 1:
My heart breaks because I cannot comprehend the end for those who have never heard
The love the father has given to us and I want to share with the world that God cares
For each and everyone of us and there is a reason that I cannot go to sleep
Because my heart breaks for the broken, dazed and confused

Verse 2:
My heart needs to break all the more when I see the people who have never heard
The more I see the lost, the more my heart breaks for the people and I can never understand
Your heart for the nations that would lead you to sacrifice your one and only son
I think to myself can I find my rest in you and do I have the joy of the Lord
