Lyrics
The wind doesn't blow as the ship desires
The world doesn't work as I require
Two ears, one mouth make up the sum
Minimize my words or prove that I'm dumb
Keep my ears open as well as my eyes
Keep my mouth closed so it don't criticize
Inside my head there's crazy dance
My monkey mind jumping from branch to branch
The monkey sees and the monkey hears
Gotta cover up the monkey mouth and the monkey ears
Open up the book to Proverbs and Psalms
Words in there are a holy balm
Sit with a line and let it marinate
Talk with the One as I meditate
Let his peace come dropping slow
Let the Word become my flow
There are some times I get frustrated
The chill I had gets perforated
I feel I'm at the end of my rope
But giving up hope just makes me a dope
I think on this verse and I feel alright
The yoke is easy and the burden is light
I'm not alone when carrying the load
Accept a helping hand; don't kick against the goads
The habits I have can all be changed
The way I'm living can be rearranged
Listen to the words of St Paul
Learn to live with money and no money at all
And if I'm wondering where to look
I can find all wisdom in one book
Let his peace come dropping slow
Let the Word become my flow
Now some of this may sound surprising
I may sound like I'm proselytizing
Though you hear my words, I'm rapping to me
Trying to figure out my history
Of faults and sins and the way I've lived
Trying to confess while the Lord forgives
I ain't that great but I hope to get better
Living in the light and living in the letter
The letter of the Lord is alpha and omega
His will be done by his agenda
Open up the word, be still my soul
May his grace change the way that I roll
Let his peace come dropping slow
Let the Word become my flow
