Message in a Song

Lately there has been a song sending me a message.  Although I remember hearing bits and pieces of the song in the past, it was within the last week I really heard what God was trying to say to me through it.  The title is simple.  "Breathe"  It is something we do every moment of every day.  It is how God designed us to maintain life in our bodies.  Sometimes, however, we get so busy with the things of life we forget to acknowledge our need of taking a spiritual breath along with our physical one.  Tonight, at the end of a busy day, I sense a need to look over the words and take a few deep and very purposeful breaths, asking God to quiet my mind and fill me with more of Him!

Alarm clock screaming bare feet hit the floor
It's off to the races everybody out the door
I'm feeling like I'm falling behind, it's a crazy life
Ninety miles an hour going fast as I can
Trying to push a little harder trying to get the upper hand
So much to do in so little time, it's a crazy life
It's ready, set, go it's another wild day
When the stress is on the rise in my heart I feel You say just

(chorus)
Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe

Third cup of joe just to get me through the day
Wanna make the most of time but I feel it slip away
I wonder if there's something more to this crazy life
I'm busy, busy, busy, and it's no surprise to see
That I only have time for me, me, me
There's gotta be something more to this crazy life
I'm hanging on tight to another wild day
When it starts to fall apart in my heart I hear You say just

(chorus)
Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need

Is to take it in fill your lungs
The Peace of God that overcomes
Just breathe
Let your weary spirit rest
Lay down what's good and find what's best
Just breathe

(chorus)
Just breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe
Just breathe
