Slow Down

 

 

 

Be still and hear

The sounds today

Joy, songs, laughter,

Children at play.

Listen more closely,

Watch and pray.

Sounds draw near,

Calm comes your way.

Be still and know

Says God above.

Know I am here

It's you I love.

Now what's the rush?

Why such hurry?

You can't think clearly,

Your mind's all blurry.

Let's take our time,

We've got all day.

Trust me please

I'll show you the way.

Be still and know

And listen too.

I sent My Son

To die for you.
