Breathing

"I can't believe people here are saying this song is about God simply because they are CHRISTIAN ROCK. Like..what the fuck, people? Just because they are christian rock doesn't mean every song they fucking sing is about god."

True, but this song IS about God. And a few of the lyrics are wrong.

"I'm finding my way back to sanity again Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there Take a breath and hold on tight Spin around one more time And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace"

why would he refer to a girl that doesn't love him as the arms of grace?

However, in 2 Corinthians 12: 8-10 it says

"Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. But his answer was: 'My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.' I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me. I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

"Cause I am hanging on every word you say And even if you don't wanna speak tonight That's alright, alright with me 'Cause I want nothing more than to sit Outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing Is where I wanna be Where I wanna be"

1 Samuel 3:1-4 "Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision. And at that time, when Eli was resting in his place, now his eyes were becoming clouded so that he was not able to see, And the light of God was still burning, while Samuel was sleeping in the Temple of the Lord where the ark of God was, The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I."

Samuel had God's approval, and slept in the Temple, right next to the ark of God because that is where he loved to be. Right next to God. Even though he'd never heard his voice. Kind applies to what the singer is saying eh?

"I'm looking past the shadows Of my mind into the truth and I'm trying to identify The voices in my head God, which one's you Let me feel one more time What if feels like to feel And break these callouses off me One more time"

With all the voices and distractions around us, it becomes hard to tell what God wants us to do. He's asking God to break all the calloused pieces off of him, all the walls he's built up. So that he can feel who God really is one more time.

Heb 12:1-2 "As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses around us. So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne."

"Oh I don't want a thing from you Bet you're tired of me waiting for The SCRAPS to fall off of your table to the ground La da da da... Cause I just wanna be here now "

Matthew 15:25-28 At this the woman came and fell at his feet. "Help me, sir!" she said. Jesus answered, "It isn't right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." "That's true, sir," she answered, "but even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from their masters' table." So Jesus answered her, "You are a woman of great faith! What you want will be done for you." And at that very moment her daughter was healed.

Even though she wasn't one of God's chosen people, this woman had faith that Jesus would heal her daughter. The singer loves even to just wait for God to move, he loves the even the little things that God does for him.

Hope that made sense. I was surprised no one saw the scriptural reference. God bless you =]
