‘SLOW ME DOWN TODAY LORD, AND MAKE ME REST IN YOU’

Slow me down today Lord, and make me rest in you

Slow me down today Lord, and show me just what’s true

Slow me down today Lord, you know I long to SEE –

beyond what my own eyes could see
beyond what my head could know
beyond what my heart left to its own devices could discern
or where it would have me go

Slow me down today Lord, that I might know you more greatly, hear from you more deeply, discern great and mighty things which, without you,

I could never know.

THIS IS ME CALLING TO YOU LORD AND ASKING –

show me
show me
show me

and as I do, even though yes a part of me is nervous at what may ensue –

strip me
strip me
strip me

take what is NOT of you
and rebuild it
anew

Slow me down today Lord, it’s time
Slow me down today Lord, I’m sick of chasing just what I think should be mine
Slow me DOWN today Lord, I’ve been dancing off the beat –

pushing
twirling
fighting
breathlessness
a ‘sort of kind of a flow’
when the whole entire time I can’t help but NOT really know –

there is a different way
there is a different way
there is a different way

THERE IS A DIFFERENT WAY

Spirit
Spirit
Spirit
HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

would you come?

Slow me down today Lord,
and let me rest in you

the rest you LEFT us
and which is just true

Slow me down today Lord,
and break the parts which would stop that
take the pieces which might block that
rid me of the voices, the beliefs, the thoughts and ideas which would not BE of that

because God,
my heart longs to do this thing just for you

so slow me down today Lord,
is my prayer and my cry
hold me in your depths
fold me in your stillness
and show me a new way to create
to be
to do business
to do life
to do me

as I remember,
who it was you made me as
and why

Slow me down today Lord,

it’s time.

Life is Now. Press Play.
