Always thought I was a fighter
Always saw myself as stronger than this
Staying busy was a badge of honor
But my soul was suffering, suffering
Help me to remember I can't do this on my own
Help me to surrender everything I can't control
God won't you help me to catch my breath
Let you take all the cares that I'm drowning under
Take my hand
Lead me out of confusion and into wonder
When I'm caught in the speed of life
On my knees is where I find
Your peace is louder than the thunder
Help me to catch my breath
Oh help me to catch my breath
Sometimes I know I'm overthinking
When just a simple prayer is all that I need
I don't have to know the future
As long as I know that you're holding me
God won't you help me to catch my breath
Let you take all the cares that I'm drowning under
Take my hand
Lead me out of confusion and into wonder
When I'm caught in the speed of life
On my knees is where I find
Your peace is louder than the thunder
Help me to catch my breath
Oh help me to catch my breath
Breathe you in, breathe you out
I'm lost in your love instead of my doubts
Nothing's gonna weigh me down
There isn't a pit you won't lift me out of
Help me to remember I can't do this on my own
Help me to surrender everything I can't control
(God won't you help me to)
Catch my breath
Let you take all the cares that I'm drowning under
Take my hand
Lead me out of confusion and into wonder
When I'm caught in the speed of life
On my knees is where I find
Your peace is louder than the thunder
Help me to catch my breath
Oh help me to catch my breath
Catch my breath
Oh help me to catch my breath
