Breathe is the third track on Newsboys' sixth studio album, Take Me to Your Leader. It was written by Peter Furler and Phil Joel and sung by the former. A remake called Breathe (Benediction), sung by Joel, was included on the same album. The song is narrated from the perspective of someone who feels increasingly angry throughout the week, but finds rest in God.

Lyrics[]

Tuesday the third,
I'll call this entry "Mistake"
Cheap imitation
My life feels like a fake
A people person
Some days people annoy me
I'm growing edgy
Wednesday's title: "Avoid Me"

Chorus
Breathe on me
Breathe oh Breath of God
Breathe on me
'til my heart is new
Breathe on me
Breathe oh Breath of Life
Breathe on me
'til I love like You do

Thursday, the fifth
I title "Drivers Beware"
Tempered-a-mental
and I don't really care
I gave 'til I bled
You laughed when I fainted
Don't want to live this life
bitter and tainted

- Chorus -

Lyrics: Joel, Peter Furler / Music: Peter Furler
