Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Let my soul rise up to meet You

As the day rises to the sun

Let my soul rise up to meet You

Let that patient kingdom come


When?s the last time you felt steady in the chaos?

Hear the sound when the seed falls to earth

Is it time to give up your destination?

Slow me down, let love do its work


Let my soul rise up to meet You

As the day rises to the sun

Let my soul rise up to meet You

Let that patient kingdom come


As the trees and hummingbirds lead the chorus

They work so hard, and their center so still

Is it time for a change in direction?

Slow me down where I bend to Your will


Let my soul rise up to meet You

As the day rises to the sun

Let my soul rise up to meet You

Let that patient kingdom come


Slow me down

Slow me down

Let love do its work


Let my soul rise up to meet You

As the day rises to the sun

Let my soul rise up to meet You

Let that patient kingdom come
