Reign in Us We Pray

Wait with me, for just one hour...
But we can’t spare a minute
In our manic world
Fear of silence has imprisoned us
In our world of frenzy
We must move or feel we’re lost
And so we have...lost You
 
Draw us back to you, Creator of Time
Let us, in transitory stillness, know You
Break us loose, from our chains of busyness
And console us, in our confusion
 
Still our chaotic minds for just one moment
So that we can let in Your light
For time moves faster than light
And we cannot so slow down...for fear reigns
 
People trample on people; the stampede is on
Hurtling us towards a disaster we cannot prevent
Rushing, head-long, into nothingness
And yet, believing that it is all
 
You are All! All Good, All Holy, All Perfect!
Perfect us, make us good
Heal us, so that it is You who deserves our all –
All our effort, our time, our busyness, our stillness, and our silence
Lost in Your wonderful love and joyful peace.
