2 - respite for my soul

When my pace is hurried and I'm feeling weak and worried
and I need a little respite for my soul
I find a place in time to leave this troubled world behind
some time to sit with myself and be still.

I need a little respite for my soul, soul, soul
take a little time to leave my cares behind,
find a little comfort and some peace of mind, some time to sit with myself and be still.

I wait to be enlightened and I find that I am frightened
and I need a little respite for my soul.
I'll find my life's a blessing if I learn this simple lesson
learn to sit with myself and be still.

I found the gift of knowing in a quiet place is growing
and I need a little respite for my soul.
My faults I am forgiven in the moment I am living
as I sit with myself to be still.
