Breathe....An Interview with Jonny Diaz

They say if you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans. Jonny Diaz knows about changes in plans. His dream was to play professional baseball. He went to FSU playing ball, but suffered an injury that changed his direction. He put down the bat and glove and picked up a pen and a guitar. I would have to say we're all thankful to be on the receiving end of the songs he's written since then!

His latest offering, Breathe, is an incredible reminder in the midst of very busy lives.  I enjoyed talking with him about the song and his life. In case you missed the interview on Hope FM, listen here:

Alarm clock screaming bare feet hit the floor
It’s off to the races everybody out the door
I’m feeling like I’m falling behind, it’s a crazy life
Ninety miles an hour going fast as I can
Trying to push a little harder trying to get the upper hand
So much to do in so little time, it’s a crazy life
It’s ready, set, go it’s another wild day
When the stress is on the rise in my heart I feel You say just

(chorus)
Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe

Third cup of joe just to get me through the day
Wanna make the most of time but I feel it slip away
I wonder if there’s something more to this crazy life
I’m busy, busy, busy, and it’s no surprise to see
That I only have time for me, me, me
There’s gotta be something more to this crazy life
I’m hanging on tight to another wild day
When it starts to fall apart in my heart I hear You say just

(chorus)

Is to take it in fill your lungs

The Peace of God that overcomes

Just breathe
Let your weary spirit rest
Lay down what’s good and find what’s best
Just breathe
