[Intro]

Verse 1

Sitting in the quiet with a cat upon my lap.

I’m dialing up support .. before I take a nap.

But underneath the static, there’s a deeper inner peace.

The agent says, "I'm puttin' you on hold, but I'll still hear your voice".

I get the urge to sing - anthems for the weak,

Maybe some Queen, "We are the Champions",

To let my brilliance peak.

My wife's advice comes rushing in,

Be still and listen, don't speak...

Chorus

'Cause the world is full of noise,

and the lines are getting crossed,

But there’s a promise -- that I carry,

when my mind is getting lost.

I am seeking first the Kingdom, Trying to obey...

Cooperating with the grace that shapes my every way ..

It’s a gift the world can’t offer,

it’s a calm the world can’t find.

Yeah, You meet me in the waiting ...

With heaven's peace of mind.

Verse 2

Matthew tells the story of the things we chase in vain.

The worry for tomorrow and the stress we can't contain ..

But righteousness is active, it’s a treasure to pursue,

Moment by moment, when I look for You.

So I won't sing to the agent,

though the stranger ought to know ...

How smart I am, how charming,

and how fast my insights flow.

Instead, I'll take the quiet space ...

to let the Word renew.

The way I think, the way I live

and what I choose to do.

Chorus

'Cause the world is full of noise, and the lines are getting crossed,

But there’s a promise that I carry, when my mind is getting lost.

I am seeking first the Kingdom, trying to obey.

Cooperating with the grace that shapes my every way ..

It’s a gift the world can’t offer,

it’s a calm the world can’t find.

Yeah, You meet me in the waiting,

with heaven's peace of mind.

Bridge

Two opposing realms are fighting for my thoughts and my time,

But I submit my budget and the way to Your design.

You supply the things I need, You keep my focus true,

From the laptop to the ledger, everything belongs to You.Just a stranger on the telephone, just a cat who doesn't care

But the Creator of the universe is listening to my prayer.

Persistent in the waiting... Resting in the peace,

My Love for you, my God, will never ever cease.
