Verse 1

I was born
Without a sound
I didn't cry so they put me in
An iron lung
All alone
And nearing death
But I heard Your heartbeat
Pulsing through my chest

Chorus 1

Oh You took my breath away
So I would learn to need You

Verse 2

My mother prayed
I’d make a noise
If You do this for me
Then You can have my son back
My father made
A deal with God
And then he left me
Stranded in the arms of love

Chorus 1

Oh You took my breath away

Chorus 2

So I would learn to need You
To learn that I could never ever
Live without You

Chorus 3

Oh You take my breath away
You take my breath away
And all these years ago

Chorus 4

I could feel You hide me
In the shadow of Your wing
And straight away I loved You
Cause You were singing songs
That someday I would sing

Bridge 1

And I heard the sound of Your voice
I felt the breath in my lungs
I felt the joy in my bones
And I started to sing I started to sing

Bridge 2

I felt the wonder of love
I knew the kindness of God
I joined with the angels above
And I started to sing
I started to sing for You

Instrumental

I started to sing for You

Bridge 1

And I heard the sound of Your voice
I felt Your breath in my lungs
I felt the joy in my bones
And I started to sing
I started to sing for You

Outro

I started to sing for You
Forever I'll sing for You
