Iron Lung

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, 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 2

Oh, oh
You took my breath away
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 those years ago
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

There’s a heartbeat, there’s a heartbeat
Can you hear it?
You’re my heartbeat, I can feel it

Tag

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
Forever I’ll sing, forever I’ll sing for You

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
