'Slow Down' - Nichole Nordeman Song From Moms To Their Kids - Staff Picks

Christian artist Nichole Nordeman shares a touching song written from a mother's perspective for her children. This emotional song has captured the hearts of the world and the beautiful lyrics reminds us that children are truly a gift from God.

"Slow down
Won’t you stay here a minute more
I know you want to walk through the door
But it’s all too fast
Let’s make it last a little while"

We have so many hopes and dreams for our precious children. We pray that God protects them and leads them on a part of righteousness. And while on Earth, mother's are the guidance for the next generation.

"I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down"

Nichole had these words to say on this tearjerking-song. "I don't know of a more uttered or whispered phrase from a mother of any age, about her child of any age, than 'It's going by too fast.'

I feel like I spend my life trying to slow time. Trying to celebrate the growth and the milestones of my children, and then secretly day dreaming about building a time machine in my garage, so I can return to rocking my babies at midnight.

If you've ever looked at your child running across a field, or striding across a graduation stage, or walking down the middle aisle of a church clutching a bouquet, you'll know why this song is special to me. Please enjoy the video below, remembering the moments we wish we could slow down, and sharing them with those we love most.” ~Nichole Nordeman
