Dunsin Oyekan's 'Breathe' is a worship song that focuses on the intimate connection between the believer and God, described as a Father-to-child and Spirit-to-spirit relationship. The lyrics emphasize being enlivened by God's breath and Word, referencing the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) as God's name. The song speaks of coming alive, changing one's world, and moving from glory to glory through God's breath. It draws on the biblical concept of God breathing life into humanity, as seen in Genesis, and the idea of the Holy Spirit giving understanding. The repetitive, meditative structure invites listeners into a place of prayerful surrender and renewal.
