Secular Worship Songs: Breathe Me

I ran across this song on Pandora and have become really intrigued by it. Upon listening to the lyrics, I thought it was perfect for another secular worship song.

“Breathe Me” by Sia

Help, I have done it again

I have been here many times before

Hurt myself again today

And the worst part is there’s no one else to blame

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small, I’m needy

Warm me up and breathe me

Ouch, I have lost myself again

Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found

Yeah, I think that I might break

Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small, I’m needy

Warm me up and breathe me

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small, I’m needy

Warm me up and breathe me

I love the vulnerability of this song. I have been in this place so many times, feeling lost and small, crying out for help. I even love the vocal style, especially in the first verse. There are several parts where her voice breaks. It sounds like she’s been up all night and hasn’t warmed up vocally. Normally, I would hate that, but it works perfectly for the mood and message of this song.

I love the image of “Wrap me up, unfold me.” I see God taking us from the ashes and creating beautiful things, like only He can do.

Question: What are your thoughts on this song? Do you have a suggestion for a secular worship song?
