This is the air I breathe

This is the air I breathe

Your holy presence living in me


This is my daily bread

This is my daily bread

Your very word spoken to me


And I I'm desperate for you

And I I'm I'm lost without you


This is the air I breathe

This is the air I breathe

Your holy presence living in me


This is my daily bread

this is my daily bread

your very word spoken to me


And I'm, I'm desperate for you

And I'm, I'm lost without you


And I'm desperate for you

And I'm, I'm lost without you.


I'm lost without you.
