Learn to Be

I push and pull and try to make things happen

I worry that the work will not be done

I stress over things I think go unnoticed

Sometimes I feel I am the only one

Impatience is forever in my pathway

Progress is my daily enemy

My life is cluttered by the things I’m doing

Your Spirit softly whispers

Learn to be

To be still within Your presence

Resting in Your word

Leaning on Your promises

They’re more than I deserve

Trusting my tomorrow

Into Your guiding hands

Here within this silence

My heart cries out again

Oh my God help me

Help me learn to be

Driven yet I’m haunted by the meaning

Success is tangled up in my defeat

Passion’s always looking for a feeling

Vision’s seeking wisdom just to be

To be still within Your presence

Resting in Your word

Leaning on Your promises

They’re more than I deserve

Trusting my tomorrow

Into Your guiding hands

Here within this silence

My heart cries out again

Oh my God help me

Help me learn to be

Patient forgiving

Loving andkind

Faithful and gentle

Renew my mind

And when I get discouraged

Because these eyes can’t see

All the ways You’re moving

Help me learn to be

To be still within Your presence

Resting in Your word

Leaning on Your promises

They’re more than I deserve

Trusting my tomorrow

Into Your guiding hands

Here within this silence

My heart cries out again

Oh my God help me

Help me learn

Help me learn to be

Learn to be
