Intro: A5 , D5 , A5 , E5 

D5                                                  A5 
And what is this lightning? And what is this thundering? 
                      E5
And what on earth has happened, that makes angels sing? 
D5                                         A5 
In all the confusion, I almost left the sheep, 
                    E5
the town begins to pack, down the path from me. 
                            D5 
Another shepherd comes my way, I run to meet him.
E5                                                    D5
He strains to try and catch his breath, he's barely breathin. 
D5                         E5                          D5
His voice is shaking and fading thin as he starts to speak, 
( D5 )
You won't believe what I've seen.



Chrous: 

A5 
Love is breathing,
E5                  D5                      A5
Hope is screaming tonight, In the baby's cry.
( A5 )
I held mercy,
E5             D5                        E5
I saw grace inside, of this newborn's eyes.
     ( E5 )                           D5
And everything we know is about to change,
     E5                         D5                     A5
He's laying in the stable in a manger, asleep on the hay.


D5                                         A5 
He said go quickly, and I will watch the sheep,
                     E5
But you have got to witness, all these mysteries.
D5                                             A5
I ran to the village, and when I reached the streets,
                   E5
the keeper of the inn began to cry out to me
D5                            E5                       D5
Have you heard this news he said, I just don't understand,
                             E5                                      D5
If had known that they were coming, I would have made room just for them.
                      E5                          D5
Until you realize in this small town what's happening
( D5 )
you won't believe what I've seen


Chorus (-LAST LINE)


                     D5                              E5
It was quiet at the stable, in the stillness of the night,
                                              D5
My heart was pounding in my chest as I peeked inside.
                                                 E5
He's a young carpenter and she was just a little girl,
                                                    D5
And terrified, and carrying, the fate of the whole world.
                                                          E5
And then she looked me in the eyes, and held her arms out wide,
( E5 )
You won't believe what I see tonight


         D5 A5 E5
Love is breathing (alleluia, alleluia, alleluia)
         D5 A5 E5
Love is breathing (allelluia, alleluia)
         D5
love is breathing
