Hey everyone! Great to be back! I'm @fortunebassey, and this week I'm exited to share my cover of "This is the air I Breathe" by Hillsong Worship. Stay tuned!

Hillsong Worship is a Christian worship music group from Sydney, Australia, and is part of Hillsong Church. They are known for their contemporary and influencial worship music, which has impacted churches and belivers worldwide.

This week's theme, "Breathe" aligns perfectly with my chosen song "This is the Air I Breathe" by Hillsong Worship. The theme invites us to explore the idea of breath, life, and sustenance, which beautifully captures the heart of it.

The lyrics "This is the Air I Breathe" reflect the theme's emphasis on breath as a source of energy. The song's declaration of dependence on God's Spirit and surrender to His will resonates with the idea of breathing in His presence and guidance.

Just as our physical bodies needs air to breathe, our spiritual souls need the "breath" of God's love and grace to survive and thrive, and this song serves as a powerful reminder of our need for Him in every moment.

My inspiration for choosing this song is rooted in the significant influence it has had on my spiritual growth and developement. During a challenging season, this song became my anthem, reminding me of God's unwavering presence and grace.

The lyrics found a home in my heart, speaking directly to my soul. The song's declaration of dependence on God's Spirit and surrender to His will resonated with my desire to trust Him more fully. The repetition of "This is the Air I Breathe" became a reminder that my very existence relies on His life-giving breath.

I'm drawn to the song's courageous transparency and heartfelt vulnerability. The writers willingness to expose their weaknesss and doubts create a safe space for me to comfront my own. The song's message of hope and surrender encourages me to release my fear and trust in God's goodness.

For me, "This is the Air I Breathe" represents a heart cry, a desperate plea for God's presence and guidance. It symbolizes the tender and precious relationship we have with Him. Through this song, I hope to convey the depth of emotion and devotion that i experience when I play it.

By performing this cover, I aim to convey the intimate connection between our breath and our faith and how releasing control to God can usher in a season of spiritual refreshment and growth. I aspire to create a moment of togetherness, where we can collectively breathe in God's love and exhale our fears, doubts, and worries.

So calm your nerves, sit back, and enjoy the experience!
