Here I go tip toe into the kitchen / And don’t you know crash goes the coffee cup / My only chance to be still and listen / Lord, don’t let, don’t let the kids wake up // A little time with You / The only way to get me through the day // CHORUS: Oh, come meet me in this moment / Before it all gets going / And these plates start to spin / And the crazy kicks in / A circus of distractions / Is just about to happen / But I’ll be ready when / The crazy kicks in // Pushed and pulled by a thousand expectations / And all the roles that I’m supposed to play / To hit the ground running’s a temptation / But I have learned this lesson the hard way // A little time with You / The only way to get me through the day // CHORUS // You got me / Where You want me / Even through the highs and lows / You know me / And You hold me / And You show me that You’ll never let me go, oh // CHORUS // Oh, I’ll be ready when / Oh, the crazy kicks in
(Francesca Battistelli / Ian Eskelin / Tony Wood)
Behind the Song:
This song is SO my life right now. I have toddler and a preschooler, and they wake up before the sun most days. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by the day-to-day craziness if we don’t take time to spend with the Lord first. I hope it’s a song a lot of parents will relate to. It is definitely a good reminder to me to prioritize those moments with the Lord before I begin to get pulled in every direction. - Francesca Battistelli
