 Hello David Digger Hernandez here, and you are watching eTV interviews here on the encounter TV network Well my guest today you all know him Steven Moctezuma my good friend. Good to see you, bro. How are you? Very well, we are here quite often. Yeah, we are no stranger here It's always fun though just as much as I am But today's a little different because we're talking about your new single now This is your first original single worship song that you're releasing on a This this scale anyway with all the different stores and iTunes and I'm sure we'll provide links But just tell us a little about the song Yeah, so the song is called the Holy Spirit and I kind of I wanted to write a song devoted to the Holy Spirit And so this is kind of a my interpretation of who the Holy Spirit is to me and also from the Bible So what's interesting is we had talked about is that very rarely do we see people writing songs to the Holy Spirit? So there are songs about the Holy Spirit and then there are even fewer songs to the Holy Spirit But you really decided to write this one to the Holy Spirit. Why is that? Well? Again pretty much what you said there I've noticed pretty much if you look at all the worship songs nowadays They're to Jesus to God and obviously the Holy Spirit, but singing to the Holy Spirit Like like you said those are kind of far and few so that's what I kind of wanted to do is write a song Exclusively about who the Holy Spirit is to me and and it's not that we said that we don't think that you know Obviously father son Holy Spirit, they're all one But so few people honor the Holy Spirit like they should nowadays. Yeah, yeah, and I and I think that's something that I Really hope people will kind of get through the song is the realization that without the Holy Spirit We would really have no connection with the father and and and everything we do I mean everything relies on the Holy Spirit. He was brought here for us So and your love for the Holy Spirit inspired the lyrics. Yes. Yeah talking about the lyrics. So the lyrics Originally they were different But I sat down with you and with a couple of my buddies and we kind of just I'll share the story of when we went to the beach So we ended up at the local beach over here where we live and I wanted to get inspired So how many guys know inspiration always happens for some reason when you're at the beach It's great. You love the ocean. So the ocean the wind. It's beautiful. So we sat down and we just kind of thought You know, what could we write that could really be different than anything I've ever heard, you know So I took inspiration from the ocean took inspiration from even the simplest thing as the breeze blowing on In in the trees and in the grass. So little things like that kind of brought this song together So and so you actually wrote about the Holy Spirit in Genesis Mm-hmm and in the book of Acts. Yes, they talked about how he was influential in both of those areas. Yeah, so I Really wanted to bring it back to where we find the Holy Spirit in the Bible and In the beginning in the book of Genesis it talks that that he he brooded over the earth You know, he was there in the beginning of time and God breathed his breath Which we interpret as the Holy Spirit over everything that we know, which in turn created everything we know So that was the beginning of it and I finished the song we jump over to Acts and Just the upper room movement in the upper room experience, which is something that is awesome because I Always think oftentimes when I'm leading worship. I want to make sure that I bring the Holy Spirit Aware make him aware, you know while we're worshiping so that's kind of what the song is is it goes? Yeah, it goes from Genesis and then jumps to Acts and finishes with an internal Affirmation I really appreciate that and I'm sure our viewers all know your worship style and the songs you do But I really like what you said you were basically saying that you want the people to be aware of the Holy Spirit Yeah, yeah, so there's a there's a part in the song and I think you all know it's kind of the big culmination of the song and How many guys out there know that what we want is the Holy Spirit to Not come down because we know he's already dwelling with us But just our awareness of him and Surrendering everything we have to him and allowing him to move throughout whatever we do So that's kind of like the really big inspiration part of mice the song and that's another thing I like that because I've heard the song several times and one of the things I like about it is that You really you really paid very close attention to the fine details of the theology of the Holy Spirit the new mythology And so I appreciate that about your music now. Tell us about the give us a story about how it all came about well Me and David or Diga, we were kind of just it actually came about it's a funny story It came about I was in his living room and I was really kind of you know in a moment of just writing and inspiration and I Just was like man We got to write a song about the Holy Spirit and we could I could have written any other song about anything else But I felt in my heart that this song needed to be out and so right then in there I just got a couple chords together that I really love and enjoy to play and just kind of put them together And and I got the music down first and then that's when I started working on the lyrics and looking through the Bible figuring out where I could go with You know the song and what direction because I mean when you're writing a song you can take it any direction It's it's endless, but I wanted to make sure that the focus was the awareness of the Holy Spirit And it really shows in the song even when I'm listening to it It does it makes me as I'm singing it and makes me aware of the Holy Spirit and I'm I'm singing it right to him And there's something there's one part in there and you were talking about kind of like the climax of the song where I'm singing it to him and I was in my car that it just singing it to him and I could fill his presence in the car with me And I think that's the key like you said he's already with us But when we become aware of him then we begin to sense him Yeah, and so I think this song really brings people into an awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit So excellent job on it now. Thank you. Thank you. So this is it. It's out your first single. What about the future albums coming? Oh, there's definitely a lot of many things many things too many to think of at the moment but there's a lot of things that we're working on as a team and Internally working on and getting inspiration out of everything we do so look forward to 2018 and beyond and seeing what we can come up and yeah, definitely CDs and albums and are my friend Well, thank you for doing this.
