Coming up to breathe - Part I

I really like MercyMe's Coming Up to Breathe album. I'm posting favorite lines I want to remember.

At the top of my list is "Where I belong", which talks about the universal search for life's meaning and purpose, and the incredible experience of one who has found these in Jesus. "Where I belong" and "I would die for You" are the theme songs of my year 2006. :-)

This excerpt from "Where I belong" -

Everybody tries to find the purpose for their life
and hopes that one more day is justified

But once you truly see the very reason why you breathe
It becomes so much more than getting by

reminds me of another song I like ("More than fine" by Switchfoot) that goes

More than fine
More than bent on getting by
More than fine
More than just okay

Going back, the chorus is spectacular. I would love to sing this together with a congregation that is just amazed, delighted, and humbled before God.

(passionately, almost vehemently... as if you can't sing it loud enough)

So I raise my hands
and shout Your name
To praise You with my song
My dreams at hand
I've found my place
the place where I belong
