BREATHE

These days are better than that
These days are better ​than that
Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions. Ecclesiastes 7:10 NIV 
Every day I die again
​and again I'm reborn
Jesus: "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." John 3:1 NIV
To walk out into the street
With arms out
Got a love you can't defeat
Neither down or out
There's nothing you have
​That I need
I can breathe
Jesus: "Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me." Mark 10:21 MSG
We are people born of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Jesus: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God." Luke 6:20 NIV
 
Jesus: "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." John 3:8 NIV
Walk out, into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I've found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it's all I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now
I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise. Psalm 138:1 NIV
 
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16 KJV
