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 it 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
And I need to be humble with nothing to prove
And I need Your Word to show me the truth
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 a sign, just give me a vision of Heaven
That 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
Stop the world, I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You, I need to hear You, Lord
Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
Show me a sign, give me a vision of Heaven
That I can hold on to
Stop the world, I need some time with You
Stop the world, I need some time with You
