This song describes how I'm comforted by the Spirit of God. I sent this lyric (among others) to a cousin who is also a singer/songwriter. He sent back a tape and this song really stood out. I changed the melody just a little and arranged the sound track to make it "my own" but it's all for the glory of God.

''WHEN I CATCH YOUR BREATH'' by Jeff Leslie 1987


When I'm weak and heavy laden
From the weight of every day
I will slip into my heart and close the door
You are always in there waiting
When I call upon your Name
And without a word my peace will be restored

When I catch Your breath, Your Spirit comes to me
When I catch Your breath, Your Spirit comforts me
And Your Spirit brings me peace
And then a part of You becomes a part of me

Now the peace that You have given
Is a portion of your grace
Hidden like a treasure in my heart
When I'm weak and heavy laden
I will seek Your holy face
Then the thought of You will take me where You are

When I catch Your breath, Your Spirit comes to me
When I catch Your breath, Your Spirit comforts me
And Your Spirit brings me peace
And then a part of You becomes a part of me

Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me
Spirit of the living God fall

When I catch Your breath, Your Spirit comes to me
When I catch Your breath, Your Spirit comforts me
And Your Spirit brings me peace
And then a part of You becomes a part of me

It’s such a mystery
How Jesus comforts me
