[Intro]

We carry the flame

[Verse 1]

The world is running faster than my heartbeat

Lights and voices pulling me away

But in the silence You whisper to my spirit

Child, remember who formed you from the clay

I’ve chased a thousand shadows in the city

But none of them could ever fill my soul

You call me back to breathe in holy stillness

A place where all the broken pieces glow

[Pre-Chorus]

And every chain of hurry starts to break

When I hear You say

[Chorus]

Stop, in the name of God, lay your burdens down

Let the world go on

Feel the breath of heaven, where the weary find their peace restored

This is sacred ground, this is Sabbath fire

Where the noise of life finally retires

Stop, in the name of God

And let your restless heart come home

[Post-Chorus]

Stop, in the name of God

Lay your burdens now

Let the world go on

Stop, feel the breath of heaven

Where the weary find their peace restored

This is sacred ground, this is Sabbath fire

Where the noise of life finally retires

[Verse 2]

Six days I’ve been fighting all my battles

Building towers that crumble in the rain

But on the seventh, You lift my heavy spirit

And write Your healing mercy on my name

You say the strongest warriors learn to rest

You say revival starts in quiet rooms

Teach me to close the door on all the chaos

And open up the space where You can move

[Pre-Chorus]

For every storm inside me fades away

When I hear You say

[Chorus]

Stop, in the name of God, lay your burdens down

Let the world go on

Stop, feel the breath of heaven

Where the weary find their peace restored

This is sacred ground, this is Sabbath fire

Where the noise of life finally retires

Stop, in the name of God

[Bridge]

Let the world keep spinning, I’m choosing rest in You

Let the screams keep screaming, Your still voice breaks through

In the quiet You rebuild me, in the silence I am strong

I stop, cause in the name of God

Is where I truly belong

[Outro]

Stop, in the name of God

Let Your glory fall

Let Your love live on

Stop, the Sabbath light is burning

Calling every wandering heart back home

This is holy time, this is heaven’s hour

Where the weary rise in renewed power

Stop, in the name of God

I’m finally home

I’m finally home
