Breath You In

Sometimes the best ideas for a song come from just singing, worshiping God, letting whatever comes out come out.  I'm not saying that this song is the ultimate achievement of my life, but it is intimate and genuine, and I happen to like some of the lyrics.  It's good when you like your own lyrics.
I will likely do some refining, but the songs message will stay the same.  God's presence is substance.  It's tangible.  Something to bask in, or breath in.  And the best part is that He wants to be near us just as we want to be near Him.
The chorus of this song simply says "Oh".  I believe that we sometimes just don't have words to express all that's on our hearts.  I didn't in that moment so I just let my heart groan.

With all of that said, I hope you are refreshed by "Breath You In".

Wash Us All

As a songwriter and worship leader, there are moments when both the writing and worship collide in a very special and intimate way.  I feel that this song was one of those moments for me.
We have this cool little building on our church grounds we call the Creekside Lodge.  When ever I needed space to write and get creative, I would sneak on over to Creekside and pull out my guitar, or a keyboard and just go crazy belting out whatever was in my head and on my heart.
Wash Us All is a culmination of a personal, intimate time of worship along in that little building.
