Dude, I really enjoyed this song! Lyrically I think you're right in terms of it being a non-congregational song, but nevertheless, thank you for posting it! The main thing I liked about the song was the way you imply that you've tried so hard in your own strength to stand (hence the calloused hands and scars etc) but you finally realise that you need God to do it and it's at that point that you are surrounded by the Spirit. That's my take on the lyrics anyway... That's also why I think it wouldn't work as a congregational song, essentially not everyone would be in that same place. In terms of arrangement, I'm not sure I liked the panning of "help to stand", ie suddenly the vocals only come out of the right side... that's just my own personal preference. I'm not sure how willing you are to change the recording etc, but what I thought would be really cool would be the following: in the third(?) chorus, the one after the instrumental ad lib bit, if all the instruments cut out while you sang: "Surrounded by your spirit" then at "I breathe it in) bang, all the instruments come back in for a massive chorus... Just an idea... Anyway, I really enjoyed the song. Hopefully we'll hear some more from you soon! Alex
