I will play with one hand
This song I write for you
I would used my left hand
But it is holding you

I will use these chords
Just so you will know
You can take the music
Where you want to go’

I could write a line like
Rest your little head
But a thousand lullaby’s
It already been said

It’s not that I don’t wish
The exact same thing for you
In a matter of speaking
You know I really do

Interlude

So let this little tune
We co-wrote here today
Race you to your dreams
In an expeditious way

Meanwhile I’ll hold you
In my arms so tight
Just listen to the music
And let your dreams
Take flight

Meanwhile I’ll hold you
In my arms so tight
Just listen to the music
Cause I hold you tonight

We breath from the moment we are born until we draw our last breath and we die. If someone collapses in front of you the first thing you’d check is their pulse which is directly tied in with their ability to breathe. That being said I state my case that breathing is important, we breathe continually and without ceasing.

The bible tells us to do things continually and praying is one of them, (1 Thessalonians 5:17) when I think of praying and how it should be a part of every moment of our day, I think of how we breathe, it comes naturally to us in the same way that prayer should flow from our hearts.

This past Sunday as I was leading worship thoughts of someone who I had just talked to (and shared a frustrating situation that they were in the middle of) jumped into my head. I thought they may be having a hard time entering into worship because of the crappy week they were having. In a moment I prayed for them and asked God to help them to engage with Him during the morning worship. I didn’t fall on my knees, I didn’t stop the singing so I could pray and if I wasn’t telling you now, you’d never know that I prayed as I was playing and singing.

It was simple, straight to the point, it didn’t consist of babble as we’re told not to do in Matthew 6:7 and didn’t take my attention away from what I was doing on stage at the same time, it was as simple as breathing.

Have you prayed today? Have you drawn breath?
