I breathe – I rest in you

One song on this album that really are one of the key songs of this album is “I breathe – I rest in you”
It is a long epic song running over 8 minutes. You can go back to the Rainbow classic - Catch the rainbow and Led Zeppelin songs Stairway to heaven & Kashmir to find a song like this.

In the lyrics I go back in time to 1985 when I really have a spiritual Awakening. I was 14 years of age and was in small church in Habo, the village where I grew up and right there in this church I had this experience that light my fire and my life got a new meaning. Still to this day this fire is burning in my heart. I share this moment with you through this song when I first understood the power of the cross through Jesus Christ.

Today we experience a lot of chaos in my country and around the world. I think it is very important to have someone to talk to when all these things are happening. When I am writing this we have a very strange situation according to Covid-19 in less than a year the world is totally changed.

For me personally I am lucky to have good friends I can talk to and a God I can pray to and talk to in good and bad times.
I don´t have all the answers but still my faith is carry me through the day and I fall and I rise, that is life.

I am so amazed how Stephen, Olov, Viktor, Per & Andreas have taken in the song and the way they play, so dynamic.
Again me and Stephen got the arrangement quite quickly and then Per did a marvelous string arrangement in the chorus that really takes the song to a new level, but again here you can hear how skilled these musicians are and how sensitive they play and create this inner atmosphere that my heart and hope it will touch yours too.

I sing I breathe, I´ll live and I will do that until my final breath but no one know the day and hour. I am deeply thankful how this song turned out with all music, vocals, choir parts, strings and all I can say enjoy and I breathe and I rest and I need you Lord Jesus Christ every day and minute of my life.
