Lyrics by @lanreolagbaju (c) 2013

I wanna be in your presence
I wanna be where you are
I wanna see your face
Then you’ll hold me in your arms
As I kiss your presence
That’s when you’ll breathe on me

Chorus:
Breathe on me (x3)
I love the way you
Breathe on me (x3)

Why would I leave your presence
And forget all the things
That you’ve done for me?
You gave me life abundantly
You are the lover of my soul
How beautiful you are!
You are the bright morning star
The rose of Sharon
You are the great I AM
Come on and breathe…

(Chorus)

For your ways O God are holy
You are the God that performs great miracles
To display your power
With your mighty hand
You redeem your people
From their lonely state
Come one and breathe Lord…

(Chorus)

(Non-English parts sung in Zulu)

Kusasa akufikile (If tomorrow never comes)
Kusasa kusasa kufikile (It tomorrow fails to arrive)

When today is still today,
And you still have time to pray
Don’t let this moment, pass you by
They say trouble don’t last always
But there will be troubled days
There is a brighter day ahead

Chorus:
If tomorrow never came,
Would you be satisfied with how you lived today
You’ve got to live like it’s your last time
Got to live with a made up mind
If tomorrow, what if tomorrow never came (usothini?) (What will you say?)
Kusasa akufikile (If tomorrow never comes)
kusasa kusasa kufikile (It tomorrow fails to arrive)
Tomorrow, Helelema tomorrow.

My life began the day I gave my pain away
Can’t hold on to yesterday
The past is the past
The future is the future
And all we have is today

(Chorus)

Tomorrow may start without you
So do all that you can do today
What will they have to say
When you have passed away
Were you just here, or did you live?

(Chorus)
