(Written by the Johnson Family)
You stay up till midnight…And forget your morning prayer
You struggle through your busy day…Don't give the Lord your cares
And somewhere in the middle…On your hectic, hurried way
You forgot to talk to Jesus…To get on your knees and pray
You rush them out of bed…You rush them to the door
You rush then get frustrated…When they didn't do their chores
And somewhere when in the middle…Of your hectic hurried day
You forgot to listen to them…don't know what they've got to say
(Chorus)
Slow down your hurried pace…Take your time it's not a race
Today may be all you have…To show them that you care
So slow down, Oh slow down
You forgot to write to her again…Her birthday was last week
Not a smile as you pass her by…Not a kiss upon her cheek
You used to take the time…To listen and to care
But it's so hard to stop and talk…The time just isn't there
(Chorus)
Slow down your hurried pace…Take your time it's not a race
Today may be all you have…To show them that you care
So slow down, Oh slow down
You dreamed since you were little…Of the day you'd say, "I do"
With starry eyes you walked the aisle…Your lifelong dream came true
But now where are the love notes…And the whispers in their ear
Where has all the time gone…For those things we held so dear
