Lyrics
Lord, Help Me Be Quiet
I really love you Lord, it?s true
And when I start my day with you
The whole house is asleep and there?s no one that needs my time
But I struggle to read and pray
As my thoughts carry me away
There?s a meeting at seven and the car needs an oil change
CHORUS
Oh, Lord, help me be quiet and know you are God
Make the noise and distractions loose their attraction to me
Lift me up from this lowly place
To see the wisdom within your grace
Help me focus, for this moment on only you
In the middle of the day
I have drifted far away
While I struggle through my commitments all on my own
This rope I?m on quickly ends
And I?m down on my knees again
Please forgive me and direct me back to your arms
CHORUS
And Lord, help me be quiet and know you are God
Make the noise and distractions loose their attraction to me
Lift me up from this lowly place
To see the beauty within your face
Help me focus, for this moment on only you
And when I lay me down to sleep
I pray you Lord, my soul to keep
Still I?m haunted by a world that won?t let me go
Take my thoughts and then help me rest
In your goodness and holiness
I surrender all I am and all I will be
CHORUS
Lord, help me be quiet and know you are God
Make the noise and distractions loose their attraction to me
Lift me up from this lowly place
To see the wisdom within your grace
Help me focus, for this moment on only you
Only you
Only you
