For Me (Interlude)

In Time

Here's a song about patience. I'm not always good with patience. Even the month-long wait from having finished this song to releasing it was a challenge for me! But I'm learning more and more to slow down. I'm usually thinking far in advance and trying to plan out the future, but God's word reminds us to take things day by day. To trust and depend on God, and be ok with not being in control. I remember doing a study last year, looking at 1 Corinthians 13 - "Love is patient, love is kind..." and realising that God IS love, and therefore everything that's true about love is true about God Himself. He is patient, He is kind. And I started to relate that to the way He loves us as individuals. God is patient with me. This truth really hit me.

I think somewhere deep down I felt that God had big plans for my life, and who I was created to be, and that I wasn't measuring up to that. That somehow I'm lagging behind or not fully walking in all that I was made for, and that God was disappointed or frustrated with me. Maybe you've felt the same way. But I came to realise that's a lie. God is patient with us. God is kind to us. He's ok with things taking a long time. He's ok with us not seeing the complete picture yet. He's ok with mistakes and set backs. And in many ways I think God is more concerned with the process than the finished result. We learn in the process. It's the place we draw close to God and learn to depend on Him. The process is where relationship develops. And so, I'm learning to slow down.

Lyrics:
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

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)

Overcoming anxiety was the inspiration behind this song. Many times we find ourselves trying to please others. We live in this constant state of needing to be perfect causing anxiety & insecurities. I wanted to inspire people to break free from anxiety by just letting go, and understanding we can't control everything. - Ilish
