Verse 1

Breath of God, steady my soul

In the hour when I feel alone 

I will lift weary eyes to you, O Lord


When I can't find answers I seek

When my faith feels weathered and weak

I will call with feeble voice to you, O Lord


Pre-chorus

Cause it's what I know of You that soothes me

Your word that's holding true that moves me


Chorus

To let go

Trusting all I ever need to know

Is Your nearness

My hope

What holds me in the valley

Is the promise of Your nearness


Verse 2

When my plans

Are leveled to dust

When I'm tempted by lesser loves

Oh I will cling with all my strength to you, O Lord


Pre-chorus

Cause it's what I know of You that soothes me

Your word that's holding true that moves me


Chorus

To let go

Trusting all I ever need to know

Is Your nearness

My hope

What holds me in the valley

Is the promise of Your nearness


Bridge

It's not the answers that You give

That makes my heart be still

It's not the mountains that You move

It's simply resting Lord in You


Chorus

I can let go

Cause all I ever need to know

Is Your nearness

And my hope

What holds me in the valley

Is the promise of Your nearness 


You're all I ever needed

You're all I ever needed

All I ever needed

Is Your nearness


Verse 3

Breathe of God, steady my soul

In the hour when I feel alone

I will lift weary eyes to You, O Lord
