Pilgrim House: Wind and Breath | Christian Has Ideas

This is a song about waiting (something a lot of us are doing these days!), about the necessity of change, and how it comes slow.

I cut the strumming way back for this session, which I think creates a better balance between the guitar and my vocals ... but I'm still working on this single-mic thing.

I release music under the name pilgrim house. You can find it here:

Song Title: Wind and Breath

Lyrics:

The closer I get to the light / The more my shadow comes to be / When I look into mercy's eyes / Her gaze speaks humility / Her eyes humble me

CHORUS
Hand to the plow
I can't outrun this restlessness
(That faithful sun)
But these coals are warm
They're waiting on the wind and breath
(When will they come?)

I keep stumbling over stones / A broken road is hard to find / Just like that valley of dry bones / If there's no change then there's no life / If I'm changing I'm alive

I'll remember everything you said / All that you have done / And all I've become / Won't you blow on this fire? / Bring it back to life / While I'm waiting quiet, until it's time

Some days I can't fight no more / Or even change my point of view / But you have moved mountains before / All I need is here with you
