Quiet My Heart
Embracing the Present: Quiet My Heart by Brooke Barrettsmith
Lyrics
My mind wanders away
Feeling distracted, losing focus
Dreaming of where I could be on another day
Imagining possibilities for the future
I'm always so far ahead
Consistently thinking ahead
I seem to miss the one that I'm in
Not fully experiencing the present moment
And I regret the time I lost
Feeling remorseful about wasted time
Slow me down before it's gone
Desire to slow down and appreciate the present
Right here in the moment I'm given
Valuing the present moment
I'll treasure the breath that I breathe in
Appreciating life itself
And I'll rest in You
Finding peace and solace in a higher power
You quiet my heart
Seeking calmness and tranquility
Somehow every second that's passing
Realizing the significance of each passing moment
Is filled so much meaning
Finding depth and importance in waiting
As I wait here with You
Being patient in a state of anticipation
Quiet my heart
Requesting peace within
I get stuck in between
Feeling torn between past and future
Yesterday and all that tomorrow brings
Reflecting on the past and anticipating the future
When all that You want from me
Realizing the simplicity of what's required
Is that I come and sit at your feet
Focusing on being present in a spiritual sense
And know that You are God
Acknowledging a higher power
And with You no time is lost
Understanding time's value in connection with spirituality
Don't let me run away
Resisting the urge to escape
Show me why I should stay
Seeking reasons to remain present
Open my eyes to take in Your beauty
Desiring to perceive the beauty in life
Keep me here in this place
Desire to stay in the current moment
Take me in Your embrace
Seeking comfort and closeness in a higher power
There's no place I'd rather be than right now
Contentment in the present moment
