Breathe Again

Today, we’re going to take a different approach to this idea of breaking free from shame. Instead of thinking about it, the hope is to experience something. Listen to the song below - the artist is a former worship leader, a lesbian, and one who is well acquainted with facing down shame. She’s very honest in her approach to God.

Where do you connect to this song? What might the Spirit be saying to you today?

Breathe Again
Joy Oladokun

The Devils in the basement in my home
A flight of stairs is way too close
He comes for me when I'm alone
Collecting debts that I don't owe

Follow me down where the waters run deep
I'll let you drown in the worst of me
If my intentions are good why can't I come clean
If heavens above where does that leave me?

Am I looking for revival?
Am I dressed in other's sin?
Hold my breath until I'm honest
Will I ever breathe again?

When the worlds so heavy I can't stand
I close my eyes and start again
Though my heart is in my hands
I won't break give me faith to bend

Am I looking for revival?
Am I dressed in other's sin?
Hold my breath until I'm honest
Will I ever breathe again?

Again
Again
Again

Am I looking for revival?
Am I dressed in other's sin?
Hold my breath until I'm honest
Will I ever breathe again?

Am I looking for revival?
Am I dressed in other's sin?
Hold my breath until I'm honest
Will I ever breathe again?
Will I ever breathe again?
Will I ever breathe again?
