TAKE THE TIME
Author(s): Paul, Micah, Jeremy
Songbook: Keep On Believing
KeyWords: Witnessing (About),

Some people feel mistreated,
Some feel they've been cheated,
Not knowing where to turn,
Thinking no one's concerned.
They may start out explaining
And sound like they're complaining,
But they could be super sheepy,
Not what they first appear to be,
And they just need somebody
Who'll understand!

Take the time to understand!
Take the time!

Verse Two:
That's why they look to you
'Cause they need someone who
Gives 'em answers from the Word
In a way they've never heard!
When you stop and show some interest
They'll see you're not like all the rest!
Their life is so in need of
A sample of unselfish love,
That when they know you're there to listen
They will open their heart! So...

Chorus One:
Take the time to understand
The way that they're feeling.
Try to sympathize and realize
What they're concealing!
In these times people
Need the comfort of knowing
We are reaching out, caring about
Whatever they're -going through!

Take the time to understand!
Take the time!

Verse Three:
After you've heard them out,
Know what they're all about,
Don't pass up this occasion
To offer them Salvation!
Bringing them to a decision
Is the purpose of our mission!
If they don't know how to say it
You can help them as they're praying it,
They can simply ask Him for it
While you're holding their hand! So...

Chorus Two:
Take the time to understand
The way that they're feeling.
Try to sympathize and realize
What they're concealing!
In these times people
Need the comfort of knowing
We are reaching out, caring about
Whatever they're going through!

Chorus Three:
Take the time to understand
How someone is feeling,
Try to sympathize and realize
What they're concealing!
Help them find in His Word
The comfort of knowing
He is reaching out, caring about
Whatever they're going through!

[Repeat Two Times]

[Repeat Chorus Three]

Take the time to understand!

Take the time!

Take the time to understand!

Take the time!
