The TV is talking The telephone’s ringing The lights are all on And the radio’s screaming A million distractions are stealing my heart from You I’m tired and empty This life is relentless It weakens my knees And breaks my defenses It’s wearing me down and I’m desperate to hear from You
Stop the world I wanna get out I need an escape away from this crowd Just to hear You speak to me
I need to be still before I make a move I need to be humble with nothing to prove I need Your Word to show me the truth And I need time, precious time
Stop the world I wanna get out I need an escape away from this crowd Just to hear You speak to me Stop the world I’m ready to listen Show me sign, give me a vision of heaven I can hold on to Stop the world I need some time with You
Before I can find my voice I need to hear Your voice Above all the senseless noise
