Intro

Praise the Lord, my soul, while there’s breath in me

My help comes from the God who keeps His word

Verse

I watched a promise flood the timeline,

Bright-screen halos, everybody swore,

By sunrise all the words were archived,

locked windows, same unopened doors,

I made a heaven out of headlines,

Asked a human pulse to carry peace,

dust can’t hold the weight of my forever,

Only You can hold eternity,

Pre-Chorus

While there’s breath in me, I’ll hold Your name,

When breath is gone, the blueprints blow away,

Heaven, earth, and every ocean testify,

The God of Jacob keeps His word alive,

Chorus

I won’t put forever in temporary hands,

Won’t hang my hallelujah on a human plan,

breath leaves the body, kingdoms turn to sand,

My forever’s in the hands that formed the land,

You lift the bowed, You lead the captive out,

You set a table, let the hungry gather ’round,

Generation after generation, You will stand,

I won’t put forever in temporary hands,

Verse

You know the names that never make the pages,

Every bowed-down back, every empty plate,

You break the locks and walk them out of cages,

Keep the stranger covered at the gate,

You hold the child the family tree left nameless,

Keep the widow when the check runs thin,

You turn the road of calculated hatred,

And pull the ones pushed out back in,

Pre-Chorus

While there’s breath in me, I’ll hold Your name,

When breath is gone, the blueprints blow away,

Heaven, earth, and every ocean testify,

The God of Jacob keeps His word alive,

Chorus

I won’t put forever in temporary hands,

Won’t hang my hallelujah on a human plan,

breath leaves the body, kingdoms turn to sand,

My forever’s in the hands that formed the land,

You lift the bowed, You lead the captive out,

You set a table, let the hungry gather ’round,

Generation after generation, You will stand,

I won’t put forever in temporary hands,

Bridge

No borrowed throne, no rented rescue,

No paper crown can carry this weight,

The world makes promises breath can’t live through,

You keep Your word past the edge of the grave,

Final Chorus

I won’t put forever in temporary hands,

Won’t hang my hallelujah on a human plan,

breath leaves the body, kingdoms turn to sand,

My forever’s in the hands that formed the land,

You lift the bowed, You lead the captive out,

You set a table, let the hungry gather ’round,

Generation after generation, You will stand,

I won’t put forever in temporary hands,
