[Verse 1] I don’t want to hurry through Checking every little box Heart racing for approval Breath caught in the clocks Teach me how to meet You In dishes Emails Traffic lights In every small and hidden thing Make my ordinary bright [Pre-Chorus] I’m holding all these plans so loosely Hands open Not a clenched-up fist You’re nearer than the fear that shakes me You are here in this [Chorus] I’m living ready Eyes wide open Hope in Your returning Changes how I’m walking Shape me in the waiting Holy Kind And steady I don’t have to do it all To be living ready [Verse 2] I’m clearing out the clutter Of a thousand noisy wants Giving You the calendar The scrolling in my thoughts Teach me how to listen In the quiet of the dawn To every whisper of Your heart That calls me to hold on [Pre-Chorus] You’re shining through my simple mornings Through the laundry and the lines Faithful in the place I’m standing Right here is Your design [Chorus] I’m living ready Eyes wide open Hope in Your returning Changes how I’m walking Shape me in the waiting Holy Kind And steady I don’t have to do it all To be living ready [Bridge] Wake me up to what You treasure (wake me up) To my neighbor To my friend To the quiet acts of mercy That echo to the end If You move I want to follow If You speak I want to stay Lightly holding every tomorrow Faithful in today [Chorus] I’m living ready Eyes wide open Hope in Your returning Keeps my heart from running Shape me in the waiting Holy Kind And steady I don’t have to leave this place To be living ready
