Slow Me
Down Lord
Slow me down, Lord.
Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision for the eternal reach
of time.
Give me, amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the
everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with soothing
music of the singing streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical, restoring power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations - of slowing down
to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog,
to read a few lines from a good book.
Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into
the soil of life's enduring values that I may grow toward
the stars of my greater destiny.
