Sweet Wind/Remix

David Ruis' song, Sweet Wind, covers three of the four elements of living an elemental life. David also discusses, in the empowered life, what worship should look like in light of truth, justice and integrity.1

Earth is the thing that grounds us, our faith, our marriage and family, and even our own character of things that do not change.

Wind speaks of the inspiration of refreshment. As we cast our sails into the wind we find renewal and strength to reach our goals.

Fire is the empowered life and living in a story that is bigger that we are. It speaks of using our gifts and abilities to act missional in our community.

Water is the communal life calling for real accountable relationships. As water moves to the lowest places of the earth, mature relationships can bring healing and restoration in our lives.

For the song I've only tried to capture the root, third and fifth of the chord progression and sometimes only using the root and the fifth.
