I Needed You Badly To Breathe Life Back In Me

This world had me down beaten and betrayed But you lifted me up with air that you saved When it tried to crush me with all of its might You intervened with your powerful light I was dead inside and it was easy to see I needed you badly to breathe life back in me When they all lined up to do their worst You were like water and quenched my needy thirst I was held to burn from the hottest flame But the possibilities were endless when I called your name I was dead inside and it was easy to see I needed you badly to breathe life back in me I was hungry for existing like I fasting for lent I didn’t need to eat because you were my only nourishment To reach the safety of your arms was my only goal So you leaned out to grab me and saved my very soul I was dead inside and it was easy to see I needed you badly to breathe life back in me
