Building 429's 'Oxygen (Bringing Me to Life)' is a contemporary Christian rock song about spiritual weakness and the need for God's life-giving presence. The lyrics honestly admit to feeling fragile, hesitant, and prone to believing lies, yet they cling to a persistent hope that urges them to hold on. The central metaphor compares God to oxygen, essential for life, and the singer longs to breathe Him in and be revived. The song expresses surrender and a plea for God to enter and restore, capturing a journey from doubt to renewed faith and dependence on His sustaining power.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Well honestly I'm weaker now
Than I've ever been
I hate to admit
I'm shamefully hesitant
In this my bitter my cold
I surrender my hope
When I gave into the lie again
And I believe in the untruth
And now I need you
Still something says
Hold on through the moon light
Don't let go, don't let go
Something says Hold on through the moon light
Don't let go, don't let go
And if I could breathe you in
I'd be sure to hold my breath
Cuz you are like oxygen
Bringing me to life
So here I stand once again
Open me and come on in
Cuz you are like oxygen
Bringing me to life
Its painfully evident that eternity is life
And I'm still a child tossed by the waves again
So quick to deny
Faster to hide
Still something says
Hold on through the moon light
Don't let go, don't let go
Something says Hold on through the moon light
Don't let go, don't you let go
And if I could breathe you in
I'd be sure to hold my breath
Cuz you are like oxygen
Bringing me to life
So here I stand once again
Open me and come on in
Cuz you are like oxygen
Bringing me to life
You're bringing me to life
And if I could breathe you in
I'd be sure to hold my breath
And like oxygen
You're bringing me to life
And if I could breathe you in
I'd be sure to hold my breath
Cuz you are my oxygen
Bringing me to life
So here I stand once again
Open me and come on in
Cuz you are my oxygen
Bringing me to life
You're bringing me to life
Come bring me to life
Bring me to life
Bring me to life
