This song came at the right time for me. I needed to relax.

Somewhere in the past week someone called to my mind the story of the burning bush, where God says to Moses, “take off your shoes, you are on holy ground.” And for the first time in my life that idea hit me in a whole different way. Take off your shoes, sit a spell, take it easy. Holy ground is hallowed ground, is sacred space, is an invitation to just be.

Also in the past week I heard someone say, “I’ll give him the piece of my mind!” and the slipup of “the” instead of “a” halfway wrote this song.

Take off your shoes, this is holy ground
You can relax, stay awhile, stick around
I’ll give you the peace of my mind

Let down your guard, I’m just here with you
Nothing to sell, nothing you need to prove
I’ll give you the peace of my mind

Breathe in, breathe out
That’s about the gist of it
Breathe in breathe out
Live

Breathe in, breathe out
That’s about the gist of it
Breathe in breathe out
Live
