Slow Down


It is easy to get “caught-up” in the hustle and bustle of life. We can get lost; our prospective can be clouded by events and concerns that should not occupy the high levels of priority that we assign them. It is a good practice to slow down and take the time to assess how we spend our most valuable of commodities, namely “time”. Are we spending it in ways that have eternal value? Are we investing in the people that we encounter each day, in the relationship opportunities that God has blessed us with? Each of us has marked out for us, our own journey in life, and a unique opportunity to impact the world for Christ. Let’s slow down and make sure we are headed in the right direction as we walk with Him, in His presence.

Third Day – Lyrics to “Slow Down”

Tell me to slow down if you think
That the road that I'm ons' goin nowhere
Tell me to slow down if you know
That I'm goin to fast for my own good.
Tell me to slow down
If the way is leadin to a dead end
Tell me to slow down turn around
Let me change the way I'm goin.
Chorus:
Oh, I don't want to let go
Of all the things that I know
Are keepin me away from my life.
Oh, I don't want to slow down.
No, I don't want to look around,
But I can't seem to work it out,
So help me God.
Tell me to slow down if you see
That I'm runnin to fast in the wrong race.
Tell me to slow down if you think
That I can't keep up with my own pace.
Tell me to slow down cause you know
If there's ever any question
Tell me to slow down, turn around
Let me change my direction.
Chorus:
Oh, I don't want to let go
Of all the things that I know
Are keepin me away from my life.
Oh, I don't want to slow down.
No, I don't want to look around,
But I can't seem to work it out,
So help me God.
Oh tell me to slow down
Oh tell me to slow down now
Oh tell me to slow down
Chorus:
Oh, I don't want to let go
Of all the things that I know
Are keepin me away from my life.
Oh, I don't want to slow down.
No, I don't want to look around,
But I can't seem to work it out,
Can't work it out.
Oh, I don't want to slow down.
No, I don't want to look around,
But I can't seem to work it out,
So help me God.
Tell me to slow down.
Tell me to slow down.
Tell me to slow down.

So good for those of us who get caught up in the "Tyranny of the Urgent" and also think we can't get out of the cycle. Praise be to God He can get us out.
Thanks, Dog
