There's a neighbor living down the street
That I haven't had the time to meet, cause I'm way too busy
There's a clerk down at the corner store
I wonder if he knows the Lord, but I'm in a hurry
There's a stranger down at Sylvan park
Strummin' on his old guitar but there's no time to listen
There's a friend I say I know him well
But some days it's really hard to tell just what he's feeling
It's easy to love from a distance
But when I take the time to make a difference

Chorus:
It's like breathing life into the living
Love can come and turn the world for the better
When we're showing Christ, to the dying
He can make a change that lasts forever
Lord teach me how to speak Your heart
Cause when I tell the world how great You are
It's like breathing life

Every Sunday on the second row
Is a man with pain that doesn't show but he needs some healing
There's a man and wife with three young kids
She doesn't love him like she did but she just can't tell him
When the dying comes in little steps
From holding on to past regrets do we even see it
The preacher says God still forgives
But deep inside he wonders if we still believe it
It's easy to love from a distance
But when I take the time to make a difference

When you speak of love, speak of mercy
Help to heal a wounded soul
When you speak of love, speak of mercy
Help to lead the broken home
So, speak of love, speak of mercy
Help to heal a wounded soul, lead the broken home

It's like breathing life into the living
Love can come and turn the world for the better
When we're showing Christ, to the dying
He can make a change that lasts forever
Lord teach me how to speak Your heart
Cause when I tell the world how great You are
It's like breathing life
It's like I'm breathing life, It's like I'm breathing life, It's like I'm breathing life
It's like I'm breathing life, Like I'm breathing
It's like I'm breathing life, Like I'm breathing
It's like I'm breathing life
