Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I quiet my soul, cause you're teaching me how to slow down

Surrender it all, let You take control and slow down

I know You're not far away from me, You are so close now

I'm waiting in the stillness, I need to hear Your voice now


And You're telling me:

Quiet, you don't have to be so frightened

About what tomorrow brings

Just keep taking it slow

I will always be close

And I'm never gonna leave you

Promise I'll never forsake you

So don't even worry now

You've just gotta let go of trying to be in control

And slow down

(Slow down)


Love is patient, love is kind

Good things sometimes take some time
