MercyMe - Coming Up To Breathe Lyrics






I'm in way too deep
I've forgotten how to swim
I can't tell which way is up or down
Save me before I drown down here
I just need some air

I'm coming up to breathe
Oh, I'm coming up to breathe
I've held my breath for all my life
But I am breaking free tonight
And I'm coming up to breathe

I just need to break these chains
I just need to leave this place
Before now this was all I knew
But with just one glimpse of You I see
You're the air I need

I've done everything I can
To get myself up on dry land
Lord, here I am again
Reaching for Your hand

    Although I'm a very practicing Buddhist, I just love this lovely Christian band! They're so uplifting! Life is so wonderful and it is things like this that help make it that way for me! I absolutely love my life and I hope that all of you do or can as well, at least, one day!

    May all of you find peace and joy in your lives! Life gets tough but keep your chin up because everything will be okay if you keep seeking the truth and remain diligent.

    Hold fast, help is on the way! 😉

    I really do appreciate your honesty and goodwill, unfortunately this music and any Christian music for that matter is not really about seeking the truth and remaining diligent. In fact the Bible says in Isaiah 64 6-9 that all our righteousness is like filthy rags, we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. In fact in our natural state we are condemned to die and it is the very reason death exists in the first place - sin. This was our fate Until Christ came. It is that simple and it does not include our good actions and our religion, all of that we count for loss for Christ's sake. All that is required of us is simply beliving and accepting salvation. This is difficult to comprehend but C. S Lewis was right in saying that if our God was too small to understand, he wouldn't be big enough to worship. Itis easy for me to say all this to you over the internet, but I say this only because I care for you. I suggest you read the Bible from John onwards to learn more about him. Don't let anyone armtwist you but don't ignore it either. Because, if it is real, it concerns more than just your present life. I really do love you brother and do not want to see you damned. I am not ashamed to say that! I'll leave you with this quote by C. S Lewis: "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. " I hope you consider reading the Word, if anything it is a good, historical piece of literature, but it is more than that by far!


    God bless

    This whole album is a masterpiece!

  6. M.... Q....

    I've been struggling through a lot lately, and I used to listen to this band when I was younger. I can honestly say I love this song and its meaning because I'm trying to restore my faith. I've been away for too long

    M.... Q....

    keep your faith :)

  7. A.... F....

    I've been listening to this band for years, I still don't understand why they have so few subscribers. People need to hear not just this band and their music but more christian music in general!
