🎵 “Closer Than My Breath”

(Slow R&B Worship — soft, intimate, romantic devotion to God)

Verse 1
I tried to fill my heart with things that fade,
But nothing stayed, nothing stayed.
I searched in shadows for a love that saves,
But only You, only You remained.

You found me trembling in my quiet tears,
Whispered peace into my fears.
Now every moment, every beat I take,
Feels like Your heartbeat in my veins.

Pre-Chorus
You hold me gently, You hold me near,
You turn my silence into prayer.

Chorus
You are closer than my breath,
Deeper than the life I live.
Every longing in my chest
Finds its rest in who You are.
You’re the fire in my night,
The softest whisper in the dark.
My forever, my delight —
Lord, You’re closer than my heart.

Verse 2
I’ve tasted mercy in Your warm embrace,
A love so pure, a holy grace.
You freed the parts of me I hid away,
Called me Yours in every place.

When I unravel, Lord, You cover me,
Wrap me in eternity.
You are the song inside my quiet soul,
You make the broken pieces whole.

Pre-Chorus
You lift my spirit when I’m weak,
Your love says everything I seek.

Chorus
You are closer than my breath,
Deeper than the life I live.
Every longing in my chest
Finds its rest in who You are.
You’re the fire in my night,
The softest whisper in the dark.
My forever, my delight —
Lord, You’re closer than my heart.

Bridge (emotional & tender)
Hold me in Your presence,
Wrap me in Your peace.
Every time I lose myself,
Your love comes finding me.

I don’t want to wander,
I don’t want to stray,
Just keep me in Your shadow, Lord,
And teach my heart to stay.

Final Chorus (soft, emotional lift)
You are closer than my breath,
Deeper than the life I live.
Every longing in my chest
Finds its rest in who You are.
You’re the fire in my night,
The softest whisper in the dark.
My forever, my delight —
Lord, You’re closer…
Closer than my heart.
