Every Minute That I Breathe ***Christian Lyrics***

[grainofsand]

I found this song yesterday…. Jana wrote this (sings it herself) after she lost her daughter.  I thought those of you who share the same Christian belief might like to hear it.  My prayer is that her words will minister to you during these difficult upcoming holidays.

Click on blue title and it should bring up Media Player with the song.

Every Minute That I Breathe
by Jana Alayra

Photos on the mantle I won’t change
For they still remind me of a day
You filled our hearts with laughter and your smile
How we loved you, for a while
The day came in the blinking of an eye
When suddenly we had to say goodbye
As you were soaring homeward through the blue
Part of me went right along with you

Every time I hear you in my mind
Though my heart weeps, my soul takes flight to the place
Where you are, somewhere far beyond the farthest star
Now every minute that I breathe, you live what I believe

You gave me so much more than joy
In you I saw a reason for each morn
In a world unwinding as it spun,
Holding you would make me still again
Many say your days with us were too few
But they were numbered by the Lord for you
A message of your life remains through time
Jesus gave you everlasting life

Every time I hear you in my mind
Though my heart weeps, my soul takes flight to the place
Where you are, somewhere far beyond the farthest star
Every time I see you dancing through my mind
Though I long to hold you, my soul takes flight to the place
Where you live, to watch you sing and dance what would I give
Now every minute that I breathe, you live what I believe

One day I will see Jesus come for me
No one knows the hour He will come
I will fall at His feet for all He’s done for me
Then straight into your arms I’ll run

Every time I hear you in my mind
Though my heart weeps, my soul takes flight to the place
Where you are, somewhere far beyond the farthest star
Every time I see you dancing through my mind
Though I long to hold you, my soul takes flight to the place
Where you live, to watch you sing and dance what would I give
Now every minute that I breathe
Every minute that I breathe
Every minute that I breathe
You live what I believe
You live what I believe

Sara, wow, that is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Thank you so very much for posting it. When I first started listening I started crying and as the song went on "you live what I believe" I pulled out a photo album of Taylor from baby days to 14 and I found myself smiling remembering ... just remembering and also knowing and believing he is in heaven. I had a dream one night that I was coming up through some woods and I saw a beautiful log cabin. I went in through the back door and it was beautiful.. but it was void of any people or furniture. I went to the front door and went out. There was my mom with a big basket of red apples and my dad tall strong and handsome.. they both ran to me smiling and I looked over and saw my grandpa and grandma slow dancing under a big billowy tree and they smiled and waved.. everyone so happy.. I kept trying to look over my moms shoulder and she smiled and said I know who you're looking for.. and he's here.. oh my heart was pounding and I felt such a surge of warmth go through me. I heard giggling and Taylor must have been about 7 years old... he was playing hide and seek with me from one tree to the other and I was happy beyond words just happy filled with contentment and joy... I think I got a glimpse of heaven. Thank you for posting this beautiful beautiful song... Love, Brenda

Oh Brenda,

What a beautiful dream of your 'baby doll' Taylor. This took my breath away. Truly, it did!

I can feel the love in every word and I can also feel the 'peace.' And, once again, you have moved me to tears.

My Love to you, Brenda and your precious baby boy, Taylor!
Terry

PS..and always remember, that they come to us in dreams. That happiness, the warmth, the contentment and the joy, could only be from being with your baby boy.

I couldnt get this to come up so I found it on youtube.  What a beautiful beautiful little girl.  I am so sorry .   The little ones should never have to suffer like that.  But now she is in heaven making it a better place for us.

The voice and words to this song are beautiful.   Thank you for sharing it with us.

Your friend,
lauren
