The lyrics are based on Psalm 121, which speaks of God as our helper and protector in times of trouble.

"Breathe A New Life – In Me" by Keith Garrett – When Faith Changes Your Story

Keith Garrett, also known as R.K.A. -  Keith Lessert, released a song called "Breathe A New Life (In Me)." The song is a call for renewal, to leave the past behind and embrace a fresh beginning. Garrett acknowledges that taking the first step to a fresh clean start isn't always easy, but you're not alone: "Eternity came and healed me within."   The lyrics give an example of the steps that lead to the change that God brings.
