If I Could Pause

If I could pause and just be still
And rest without a thought
I'd close my eyes, the senses would thrill
To have won the fight I'd fought

For what I think, so I am
And that is what I'll do
I know this stops me before I can
But, with rest, I can start new

With a clear head, I'll meditate
My thoughts will not wonder
Then with gratitude, I'll not hesitate
To list my blessings and ponder

What's in my heart, I now must share
I'll express them to God
And after I speak to Him in prayer
I'll hear His voice in the rod

When I am still the spirits there
And my heart's been set free
Of purpose, I am more aware
And I am now the real me

For strength and for fortitude
My heart must feel deeply
When I've a refreshed attitude
All my stuck thoughts won't keep me...
From becoming all I'm meant to be


When I eat emotionally
I stuff my heart 'till hard
This adds commotion in me
And my true feelings I have barred
