Story Behind The Song
I live in Switzerland and the best way to clear my head is to climb a lonely mountain peak and get away from the crowds. That is where I feel closest to God and he rebreathes his spirit into me as he once did to Adam in the act of creation.

Lyrics
"Fill thou my life, oh Lord my God
In every part with praise
That my whole being and my ways
Thy beauty may proclaim
Not for the lips of praise alone
Even a praising heart
I ask but for a life made up
Of praise in every part"
Come breathe on me
Won't your spirit come breathe on me, yeah
Come breathe on me
Won't your spirit come breathe on me
"So shall thou Lord, from me, yes me
Receive the glory due
And so shall I begin on earth
This song forever new"
Come Breathe on me ...
"Not to be the centre of attention
To make heads turn and look at me,
I need your power to be
The channel of forgiveness
And your truth to shine through me"
Come Breathe on me ...
