Keep Me in the Moment

July 21, 2020

There are times we all need a little inspiration. Fortunately, the world is full of opportunities to find encouragement in everyday activities – things as simple as enjoying nature, hearing a child laugh, or reading a quote that resonates with you.

 

Foundations counselor Denise Rightmier recently shared with us a song that has been a source of encouragement to her during these unprecedented times. Here is what Denise had to say about the song Keep Me in The Moment by Jeremy Camp:

 

“Living in these uncertain times, with things seemingly changing daily with the COVID-19 and the unrest that is rising in the world. It is so easy to get caught up in the fear and the noise or at least I know for me it is. But I believe with God’s help I can stay focused on the moments that matter and are important to me. I can find some solace, some peace, and maybe even some strength for such a time as this.”

As you listen to the song, Denise challenges you to think about staying focused on your moments and the things that matter to you. Her hope is those moments bring you some solace and peace and maybe even a smile to your face.

We thank Denise for sharing this song, her thoughts, and for bringing a smile to our faces!
Lyrics
I’ve been thinking ’bout time and where does it go
How can I stop my life from passing me by, I don’t know
I’ve been thinking ’bout family and how it’s going so fast
Will I wake up one morning just wishing that I could go back?
I’ve been thinking ’bout lately, maybe
I can make a change and let you change me
So, with all of my heart this is my prayer
Singing oh Lord, keep me in the moment
Help me live with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
Singing oh Lord, show me what matters
Throw away what I’m chasing after
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
Keep me in the moment
Oh, keep me in the moment
Keep me in the moment
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
When I wake up in the morning
Lord, search my heart
Don’t let me stray
I just wanna stay where you are
All I got is one shot, one try
One go around in this beautiful life
Nothing is wasted when everything’s placed in your hands
Singing oh Lord, keep me in the moment
Help me live with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
Singing oh Lord, show me what matters
Throw away what I’m chasing after
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
Keep me in the moment
Lord keep me in the moment
Keep me in the moment
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
I’ve been thinking about heaven
And the promise you hold
So, it’s all eyes on you
Until the day you call me home
Singing oh Lord, keep me in the moment
Help me live with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
Singing oh Lord, show me what matters
Throw away what I’m chasing after
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
Keep me in the moment
Oh, keep me in the moment
Keep me in the moment
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
Keep me in the moment
Oh, keep me in the moment
Keep me in the moment
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
