I Will Not Hurry

 

 I will not hurry through this day!

Lord, I will listen by the way,

To humming bees and singing birds,

To murmuring trees and friendly words;

And for the moments in between

Seek glimpses of Thy great Unseen.

 

I will not hurry through this day,

I will take time to think and pray;

I will look up into the sky,

Where fleecy clouds and swallows fly;

And somewhere in the day, maybe

I will catch whispers, Lord, from thee!
