“Just Breathe”

This past Saturday morning I got to lead some worship for an event that the Children’s Justice Initiative Department (Orphan Justice Center) hosted for our community.  It was a gathering of interns, staff, parents of adopted children, and their children, geared to promote greater restoration for these children in our community.  When I was waiting beforehand, I was feeling tired and dull and unsure how the Lord was wanting me to specifically partner with His heart for the time.  I ended up picking up my guitar and just playing around.  And out of nowhere (or somewhere!) He gave me another new song (I think this is maybe #8…He has been giving me all these songs lately!)  It is called “Just Breathe.”  It was inspired by some revelation He has been depositing in my heart about the Spirit of Adoption lately, combined with an amazing message that was given at our Encounter God Service last Friday evening.

It’s in 6/8 AGAIN!  I am not sure why I keep writing  (probably 6 of the songs so far!) in 6/8 meter.  I think I even tried purposefully to NOT play 6/8 and then when I got home and played it again, it was 6/8! HA!  I think it’s more than just a creative rut, though.  I think it is spiritual.  The Lord has told me several times lately that He is rocking me (that place of security, provision, peace, and rest in a parent’s arms).  And 6/8 reminds me of the rhythm of a rocking chair.  So maybe that’s why.

So without further ado…

(OH, I almost forgot… it’s extremely rough.  I just threw it together in a rush to post and share for your edification, not because it sounds extremely great! But I think it will still bless someone!)
