“When You Slow Down”
Braided Light | Jessica Standage
2021

She likes to pause life outta light hours
and organize what she’s planned
He likes to live life every hour
and let the day’s work show from His Hands
She likes to run around every minute
while He likes to take a stroll
She’s a blur in the darkness
He’s a Light in the forest,
Walkin’ through the fields of gold

He likes to spend His nights in the barn
and paint the next day in His mind
She always seems to be scared of harm
and live her life inside, countin’ time
He’s always out there, sowin’ the seeds
while she’s sowin’ dreams inside
Her tiny heart’s burnin’, every step she is yearnin’
to walk through His valley of life

And the winds change like a summer rain
There’s no turnin’ time back, when you’re on the right track
You just keep your eyes up and live like there’s no tomorrow
Oh, one day it’ll be okay
You’ll see your faith run true, when the clouds break through
You’ll feel Him next to you
When you slow down

She hears a whisper, callin’ her name
An’ she jumps the fence outside
Beauty rushes into her gifts,
She’s seein’ with the morning Light
A trickled-yellow sunlight showers her heart
as it’s healin’ warmth feels so right
And we’re given right now
For the people around us,
And grace to bring them the Light

And the winds change like a summer rain
There’s no turnin’ time back, when you’re on the right track
You just keep your eyes up and live like there’s no tomorrow
Oh, one day it’ll be okay
You’ll see your faith run true, when the clouds break through
You’ll feel Him next to you
When you slow down

(Interlude)

Who am I to plan my life alone?
Don’t I know God’s love can heal my own?

And the winds change like a summer rain…….
There’s no tomorrow
Ohh, one day it’ll be okay
You’ll see your faith run true, when the clouds break through
You’ll feel Him next to you……
When you slow down

Ohhh….

Oooo….
