Unrush Me

Slow my feet, Lord,

I want to walk in your ways.

Establish my stride

to the tempo of praise.

Slow my lips, Lord,

I want to speak life.

May my words spur love, 

instead of anger and strife.

Slow my hands, Lord, 

I want to embrace

the everyday miracles

wrapped in your grace.

Slow my eyes, Lord,

I want to glimpse what you see

when you gaze through the lens

of eternity.

Slow my soul, Lord,

I want life to the brim.

Invade my heart

And settle right in.

Slow my mind, Lord,

I want to ponder your truths.

Make Christ my best thought

and your Spirit my muse.

Unrush me, Lord,

set me free from the flurry.

Fix what’s been broken

by my hustle and hurry.

Unrush me, Lord,

So when my short life is through,

the footsteps I leave

will point straight to you.
