Too Fast To Pray was inspired by the rapid pace and steady grind of life brought on by the ever increasing demands placed on us as a result of instant communication devices and technology. We forget at times, while mired in the daily pressure cooker, that there is something bigger and more meaningful out there, and we are just too busy to notice.

lyrics

The sun is up. The sun is down. It’s just another day.
I haven’t had time to think, or the time to pray.
I work the phone, drive my car, try staying in the lane.
The days fly by so fast. Is there anything to gain?

Is the Lord Almighty watching me? Will he answer my call?
Does he know I still love him? He hears nothing at all?

Out the door. Race the clock. No time to say good byes.
Shadows climbing over me. I often wonder why.
In the din of the day, hidden in the crowds,
I swear I hear the voice of G-d tells me to slow down.

No reason to hide. Reach deep down inside. His spirit will always be there. When I just let it go everything flows.

Crack of dawn, dew in the field, beginning of the day.
A chance for a fresh new start, is there any other way?
