Slow Down - Chuck Girard

Chuck G

In the midst of my confusion In the time of desperate need When I am thinking not too clearly A gentle voice does intercede Slow down, slow down, be still Be still and wait, on the Spirit of the Lord Slow down and hear His voice And know that He is God In the time of tribulation When I'm feeling so unsure When things are pressing in about me Comes a gentle voice so still, so pure Slow down, slow down, be still Be still and wait, on the Spirit of the Lord Slow down and hear His voice And know that He is God And know that He is God

Writing about it years later Chuck says, "The obvious inspiration for this song is the scripture : "Be still and know that I am God". Again, a simple lyric that takes no deep thought to relate to, which is often the mark of a song that can minister to many people.  This song receives even today more mail and comment than any other song I have ever written."

Knowing what the Word says about God's Will for us individually and corporately is an important tool that Holy Spirit can use to bring us to an understanding of how we can apply this tool to our lives. It gives us vision and order. Our priorities become His priorities and we are then able to sustain a life of prayer for our communities as He gives us endurance and patience with joy.
