#IStrillBreatheForYou
Some give their life in a single moment… Others give it every day after. This is for the ones we lost — and the love that never leaves.”
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
We stood in the chapel, hands intertwined,
You said, “Wherever I go, you’re never far behind.”
I kissed you goodbye at the soldier’s gate,
Prayed through the silence, and carried the weight.
[Verse 2]
The letters stopped coming, the knock came instead,
I fell to my knees when they said you were dead.
But your voice kept whisperin’ through my midnight cries,
“Don’t let my love fade, let it rise.”
[Chorus]
I still breathe for you when the pain is too loud,
I still stand in the storm with my head unbowed.
Jesus held me close when I broke in two —
Now I live, I love, and I give... for you.
Yes, I still breathe… I still breathe for you.
[Verse 3]
You dreamed of a world where the hurting heal,
Where hope’s more than words, and love is real.
So I opened a door where your light shines on,
Turning ashes to angels, and pain into song.
[Verse 4]
I see your boots by the door, untouched by dust,
I wear your faith like a sacred trust.
And every soul we help, every tear I dry —
I feel you with me, standing by.
[Chorus]
I still breathe for you when the pain is too loud,
I still stand in the storm with my head unbowed.
Jesus held me close when I broke in two —
Now I live, I love, and I give... for you.
Yes, I still breathe… I still breathe for you.
[Bridge]
The grave didn’t win, though I wear the scar,
Cause Heaven ain’t distant, it’s right where you are.
And when I pray for the lost, and I sing through the night,
I feel your soul dancing in the light.
[Chorus]
I still breathe for you when the pain is too loud,
I still stand in the storm with my head unbowed.
Jesus held me close when I broke in two —
Now I live, I love, and I give... for you.
Yes, I still breathe… I still breathe for you.
[Outro]
You gave your life so others could live,
Now I carry your fire in all that I give.
And when I can’t go on…
Jesus carries me through —
‘Cause I still breathe… I still breathe for you.
