Life's challenges around us can cause our minds to stray

Thinking of the problems, the blessings slip away

Our Father's hand outstretched, how can we just ignore

Take time to see the goodness of the Lord



Troubles may surround us with sorrow, even pain

A lonely morning, a dismal evening rain

But we can change our minds by thinking on his Word

Take time to see the goodness of the Lord



Take time to see his blessing whatever we may do

Don't let a moment's blessing slip away

No matter what we're needing, He's here to see us through

With goodness from His heart everyday



To be alive, to walk in love, to know that He is there

Let's dwell upon those good things and sing of all His care

And as we sing together, we'll blend a loving chord

Take time to see the goodness of the Lord
