Petra's song 'Your Word Is My Oxygen' is a worshipful meditation on the sustaining power of Scripture. The lyrics describe how God's Word provides life, hope, and strength through every season, from quiet mornings to chaotic days and doubtful evenings. The song emphasizes that biblical truth is a foundation that mends brokenness and a guiding light in darkness. It draws on Psalm 119:50, which speaks of God's promise giving life in affliction. The overall message is one of reliance on God's Word as essential spiritual nourishment, akin to oxygen for the soul.

Based on Psalms 119:50
In the silence of the morning, when the world is still asleep
I turn my heart to heaven, and Your promises I keep
In the chaos of the daytime, when the noise begins to rise
I find my strength and refuge, in the truth that never lies
Oh, the life within Your breath, gives me hope, defeats the death
Your Word is my oxygen, breathing life into my soul
Your truth, my foundation, makes the broken pieces whole
In Your Word, I find my strength again, Your Word is my oxygen
In the shadows of the evening, when the doubts begin to creep
I hold fast to revelation, in Your arms, I find my sleep
Every line a healing whisper, every verse a guiding light
In the darkness, You're my beacon, turning wrongs to make them right
Oh, the life within Your breath, gives me hope, defeats the death
Your Word is my oxygen, breathing life into my soul
Your truth, my foundation, makes the broken pieces whole
In Your Word, I find my strength again, Your Word is my oxygen
Every page, a breath of heaven, every word, a holy sound
In Your grace, I find my haven, on this rock, I stand my ground
With each promise, I'm uplifted, in Your wisdom, I am found
Your Word is my oxygen, breathing life into my soul
Your truth, my foundation, makes the broken pieces whole
In Your Word, I find my strength again, Your Word is my oxygen
Your Word is my oxygen, every day, I breathe it in
In Your Word, I find my strength again, Your Word is my oxygen
Your Word is my oxygen
