The Hurt and The Healer cover
06. Take The Time
Album: The Hurt and The Healer
Artist: MercyMe
         
 

You can turn around and walk away
Tell yourself there's nothing here to see
Try so hard to look the other way
As if you haven't noticed anything

CHORUS
Do it to the least of these
Do it to Me
You gotta take the time
You gotta take the time

Shallow is the voice of no concern
Running through the bridges that we've burned
You can't even feel your own demise
So how can you pretend to lead the blind

CHORUS

I'm the hungry and the weak
Can you even see me
I'm the stranger all alone
Won't you welcome me home
I'm the naked and ashamed
Won't you look my way

You gotta take the time

You gotta take take take
Take the time

Behind the Song:
