to breathe slowly;
to re-centre my scattered senses upon the presence of God
Shout to the Lord, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy!

Matthew 13:44
If you want your dream to be
Take your time, go slowly
Do few things but do them well
Heartfelt work grows purely
If you want to live life free
Take your, time go slowly
Do few things but do them well
Heartfelt work grows purely
Day by day, stone by stone
Build your secret slowly
Day by day, you'll grow too
You'll know heaven's glory
If you want to live life free
Take your time go slowly
If you want your dream to be
Take your time, go slowly
