Lyrics
So much buzzing around me
Could I ever be still now
Could I ever be still now before the Lord
So much hurry and worry
Could I ever be still now
Could I ever be still now before the Lord
Am I the mover and shaker who makes it all go
Am I the god who is keeping it all in control
Or am I a petulant child who can never be still now
Could I ever be still now before the Lord
Is my life a series of projects
To be checked off some list now
Could I ever be still now before the Lord
Has living my days in this way
Really been so bad til now
Rarely stopping to still now before the Lord
I clothe myself in the thick garment of all that I do
It covers me up like a shield that protects me from who I might be
If I cease the running will my imperfections just spill out
So afraid to be still now before the Lord
If you put holes in this shield what am I
If you take this garment away what am I
