I am so guilty of running ahead
And doing things
Before I know what You’ve said

I always seem to end in a mess
Why is it so hard
To slow down and rest

Exactly what am I trying to prove
You already love me
There’s nothing I can do

To change who You are
Your favor towards me
Is always a constant
As I dwell with Thee

There’s a time for everything
Under the sun
There’s a time to slow down
And a time to run

A time to be busy
And a time to rest
A time to snuggle, Lord
Close to your breast

I know your Word says
Be led forth in peace
Help me to calm
My “busyness” beast
