Music Video: Empty Myself

Steve · March 12, 2020 · 2 Comments

Last week, my friend and musical collaborator John Caravelli and I recorded a new version of one of my older songs, “Empty Myself.” As we enter more fully into the Lenten season, it’s a song about the need to empty ourselves in order to make room for the movement of God.

Give yourself permission to slow down today. Maybe start with this short video. Grace + peace to you all during this time of fear and uncertainty.

Words and music by Steve Givens, copyright 2020, Potter’s Mark Music. Lead vocals by Steve Givens and guitar and background vocals by John Caravelli.

    Thanks, Sue. Thinking of you all these days (and kind of glad I’m not there…)
