Time TO Dream

[Pauline]

Give me time to dream, oh Lord

Time now for reflections

Time to rid my frazzled mind

of a thousand and one expectations.

-------------D

Give me just a moment

to observe this changing time

~to shut out noise and disturbances

~To sweep them from my mind

............R

Let me notice little things

you give unselfishly

~the falling leaves, the pure white snow

~all the gifts you give to me.

................E

Let me look forward to tomorrow

without worry or regret

~forget the past and accept the present

~don't let me give up yet

...................A

Slow me down, Lord, slow me down

~so I can see your face

~to pause and let the blessed calm

~my negative thoughts replace.

.................M

Let me take the time to live and love

instead of racing out of control

Slow me down, Lord, slow me down

and still my restless soul

.....................DREAM
