Nervous jitters Not just a little What if I make a mistake In front of everyone It’s one shot and if I miss this take I’ll be undone Fight or flight I can’t outrun this feeling It feels like I’m fighting in the air My thoughts swirl there Long enough to distract me But eventually I somehow rein myself like a wild horse Tame my mind that was off course It’s time to put practice to the test When the curtain drops After a few notes I find rest The audience joins and we perform together It feels great, in that moment nothing could go better I’m remembering my first performance And it feels like yesterday Nervous jitters Have subsided almost to the point of disappearance I’ve tested enough in front of this crowd and have become familiar with sharing It’s normal now I’ve broken my horse in It’s tame and had been trained When we perform it’s like taking a walk When the curtain drops It’s feels like We can do it everyday Fight or flight is replaced with Sight and a sound mind I see a task and have clarity to execute Performance becomes synonymous with practice I feel less distracted And more in the zone I can focus on hitting my notes I’m remembering my performance after years of experience And it happened yesterday Nervous jitters Have made their way back again I’m about to present in front of a crowd In a public setting In front of everyone And I don’t feel like I’m ready yet On the way there I feel like I’m fighting in the air Grasping for encouragement Asking an invisible God to grant me aid Trying to tame a wild horse that broke free yet again Out of a stable that I guess never went away But was kept in store for a rainy day And today was that day A song of encouragement came on the radio just in time on the way to the presentation Reminded me that fear could be overcome And when the curtain dropped I won I’m remembering a performance from work And it was great Nervous jitters Might make their way back someday Wild horses will no doubt need to be tamed The air will hold dog fights That might last long into the night Trouble will abound as long as I live If I have sight I will see it If I have hearing I will hear it Every sensory will alert me of a demand beyond my control Beyond me But I will be prompted to succeed To respond to a problem Confronted against myself or someone else And years of practice will spring into action I’ll remember ways in which I’ve come this far and won’t forget to draw near Peace, to remember ways to obtain it from a God that grants it to me Which surpasses understanding When the curtain drops you will find me standing Either on this side of the veil or after this life is spent After the performance another curtain awaits To the afterlife and I’ve seen others in my life Loved ones that I’ve held onto as they died And every indication points to nervous jitters But instead I’ve replaced it with a faith in Jesus Christ that doesn’t quiver Before the curtain drops I’ll Release fear set my mind at ease Practice purpose, and Peace becomes reality Nervous jitters Have made their way back again I’ m about to present in front of a crowd In a public setting In front of everyone And I don’ t feel like I’ m ready yet On the way there I feel like I’ m fighting in the air Grasping for encouragement Asking an invisible God to grant me aid Trying to tame a wild horse that broke free yet again Out of a stable that I guess never went away But was kept in store for a rainy day And today was that day A song of encouragement came on the radio just in time on the way to the presentation Reminded me that fear could be overcome And when the curtain dropped I won I’ m remembering a performance from work And it was great Nervous jitters Might make their way back someday Wild horses will no doubt need to be tamed The air will hold dog fights That might last long into the night Trouble will abound as long as I live If I have sight I will see it If I have hearing I will hear it Every sensory will alert me of a demand beyond my control Beyond me But I will be prompted to succeed To respond to a problem Confronted against myself or someone else And years of practice will spring into action I’ ll remember ways in which I’ ve come this far and won’ t forget to draw near Peace, to remember ways to obtain it from a God that grants it to me Which surpasses understanding When the curtain drops you will find me standing Either on this side of the veil or after this life is spent After the performance another curtain awaits To the afterlife and I’ ve seen others in my life Loved ones that I’ ve held onto as they died And every indication points to nervous jitters But instead I’ ve replaced it with a faith in Jesus Christ that doesn’ t quiver Before the curtain drops I’ ll Release fear set my mind at ease Practice purpose, and Peace becomes reality
