Breathe by Maangi is a worship song in absolute surrender to God, with a deep yearning for Him, and a prayer for His life-giving Breath and Word. The sole purpose of our being is to worship the almighty King of Kings, as does the heavenly host without ceasing.
This song invites the believer longing for God into a moment of worship. It is only in Him that all longing is truly satisfied, and in Him that He fulfils our heart’s desires according to His good will.
Breathe is part of the Let There Be triple release featuring My Advantage and For All He Has Done.
Some things won’t shift on effort alone. Some walls only come down when God breathes on them.

I believe that You can breathe upon us

That's how much we need You right now

Song review
Main themes
Breathe by Maangi is built on the following themes:
- Surrender and hunger for God
- The breath of God
- The Word of God
Surrender and hunger for God
The burning desire for God is a healthy metric for any believer, and is for sure encouraged. God promises to satisfy auch desire, often expressed during worship in the form of singing.
Matthew 5:6 KJV
[6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Psalm 42:1-2 KJV
[1] As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.
[2] My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?
The breath of God
In the Bible, breath of God connotes the Spirit of God. The call unto God to breathe on us is a prayer for an infilling with the life-giving Spirit of God.
Job 33:4 KJV
[4] The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
The Word of God
More than mere words, the Word of God holds power to transform, and give life. It is prudent of any believer to surrender unto God to speak His Word, through His Spirit who convicts us of the Word.
John 6:63 KJV
[63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
