The Simple Life
Living life can be hard
today, I have to say it's so,
But I have learned if I stop and pray
I get the grace to go.
And I have found by slowing down
I have more time to live the simple life
The simple life. All free
from strife.
So glad that I have found the simple life.
Living life in the passing
lane, it's near insane to me;
'Cause soon your life will be washed away
By the pouring rain to the sea.
But I have found by slowing down
I have more time to live the simple life
The simple life. All free
from strife.
So glad that I have found the simple life.
The simple life is the
way to go though the pace is slow for some,
But I'll have peace in my heart to show
when the race of life is done.
For I have found by slowing down
I have more time to live the simple life
The simple life. All free
from strife.
So glad that I have found the simple life.

STORY BEHIND THIS SON...
''Tis a gift to be simple... So the old
hymn goes.
It is possible to have peace in the midst
of today's hectic pace, but it requires some "adjustments".
We need to slow down and make time for prayer and contemplation.
This will likely require a re-ordering of our priorities
and a letting go of some of our unnecessary pursuits and
goals, but the reward is well worth it.
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all who
are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take
My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
