A war to be present

A war to be present

by Joel Howard

A strange pull

to be elsewhere 

has now become the norm

The way I spend,

give and relate

All falls under this weight

"The grass looks

greener over there"

has led a generation

to despair

When I quiet,

slow and wait

A different whisper

comes my way

Instead of panic,

fear and such

Jesus tells me

I'm enough

"Yes you should be here"

Almost like victory

"Yes you should be here"

Abba says to me

"Yes you should be here"

Holy rest

"Yes you should be here"

And He knows best

In this war of fast

or slow

I'm complete only

when I know

Only when I

sit and wait

Then I know

His plans are great
