Slow Me Down
Lord, ease my pounding heart
By the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision
Of your eternal light of time.
Give me, amid the confusion of the day,
The calmness of your everlasting embrace.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles
With your soothing songs that live in memory.
Slow me down, Lord.
