My life gets noisier the busier it gets
It’s okay to be quiet
It’s okay to be still
It’s okay to be mellow
Quiet down the thoughts that are trying to compete for my attention
And lead me away from the things that try to steal my affection
Quiet down my soul, because my heart has been racing for so long
Quiet down the anxious thoughts I have before I go to sleep
I hear you telling me it’s okay to be quiet sometimes
I hear you telling me that I don’t need to always be occupied with things that I can never change
I need you to remind me that, you want me to listen to the things you tell me and take each one to heart
A promise of you redeeming me, help me remember that you gave me new life
This world is rushing onto the next thing on the calendar
This world asks what’s next on the agenda
This world needs to slow down and be quiet
This world needs to learn how to listen to your voice
