about

GUARDIAN:
This song is about what I felt the moment I encountered Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. In the song I try to explain what I felt in that moment and the feelings Jesus pulled me out of within my hopelessness and the strength and confidence He gave me.

Additionally the song is named "Guardian" because back in 2013 right after hearing the news that my mom was terminally ill, I had a dream that I was in a motel room and I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door and there was a figure standing there that I couldn't fully make out. The figured said to me, "this is going to be the most painful experience you have ever faced, but it will also be the most important." I feel the figure was an angel and the angel said this in regards to what I would face with my moms death. A year after that dream my mom died and I fell apart and 3 months after my moms death I encountered Jesus Christ and was saved. The most painful experience = my moms death. The most important experience = being saved by Jesus Christ!

lyrics

Your breath swells deep inside of me
I feel like I can do anything
Your skin meets mine hand in hand
I never knew what true love could do
What love could do

I have the power
I feel nothing
Nothing but you

Feeling like I'm gonna drown
The weight keeps holding me down
But it's nothing like it was before
Guardian at my door

I have the power
I feel nothing
Nothing but you
