Slow me down, Lord.
Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision of eternal reach of time.
Give me, amidst the confusion of my day,
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves with the soothing music of the
singing streams that live in my memory.
Let me look upward into the branches of the towering oak
and know that it grew great and strong
because it grew slowly and well.
because it grew slowly and well.
Slow me down Lord,
and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life's
enduring values that I may grow towards
enduring values that I may grow towards
the stars of my greater destiny.
