First Breath to Last

(Verse 1)
From the moment I drew air into these lungs
Your love was waiting there for me
Before I knew Your holy name or sung
Your praises, Lord, You set me free
Through playground tears and teenage fears
You held me close, You dried my eyes
And when I finally heard You calling clear
My heart found home beneath Your skies

(Chorus)
From my first breath to my last
Your love will see me through
Every storm that’s gonna pass
Every mountain I walk through
When this old world tries to break me down
I’ll lift my hands up high
‘Cause from my first breath to my last
You’re the reason that I’m alive

(Verse 2)
Through wedding bells and baby’s cries
Through sleepless nights and worried days
When loved ones said their last goodbyes
Still You never left my side, Lord, always
In the valley of the shadow
When I can’t see past the pain
You’re the light that leads me home, oh
You’re the sunshine through the rain

(Chorus)
From my first breath to my last
Your love will see me through
Every storm that’s gonna pass
Every mountain I walk through
When this old world tries to break me down
I’ll lift my hands up high
‘Cause from my first breath to my last
You’re the reason that I’m alive

(Bridge)
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, what a friend
Your mercy’s new every morning
Your faithfulness will never end

(Final Chorus)
From my first breath to my last
Your love will see me through
Every storm that’s gonna pass
Every mountain I walk through
And when I take that final breath
I’ll see You face to face
From my first breath to my last
I’m covered by Your grace
Yeah, from my first breath to my last
I’m living in Your grace
