You may not catch a butterfly by chasing it
however if you happen to sit very nonetheless
a butterfly would possibly discover and go to you…
Educate me to be nonetheless, Lord:
to take just a few deep breaths,
calm down, sit again
and see what grace, what magnificence
comes to go to at my facet
and deep inside my coronary heart…
Educate me to be nonetheless, Lord:
to discover a place removed from the chase
that rends and spends my spirit,
a spot the place only one butterfly
would possibly search and discover and go to me…
Educate me to be nonetheless, Lord:
tempo my racing ideas
and calm stressed soul
till your Spirit, like a butterfly,
would possibly gentle upon my arm
and produce me peace…
Educate me to be nonetheless, Lord,
train me to be nonetheless…
To be nonetheless, Lord.
please train me to be nonetheless…
Amen.
