[Eb] [Eb]
[Gm] [Cm]
[Gm] More and [Eb] more I [Fm] marvel at [Gm] the wonder of his grace
I find [Dm] myself [Eb] with [F] a heart that hungers [Bb] every day
[Ab] For the joy [Bb] and the fullness [Gm] of his [G] love in my [Ab] life
[Bb] Let him smile, [F] taking the [Eb] time to [Ebm] know [Bb] him
Not a [Gm] day, not a [Ab] time, [Bb] though my Lord's taking each step too far
Everywhere he [Cm] leads is where I'm gonna [Bb] be
Spending the time of [Eb] my [Bb] life on the treasures [Ab] of [Bb] sinless love
[F] Taking the [Gm] time to know him every moment [Eb] of my life
[Dm] [Eb]
[F] [Eb]
It's [Bb] not [F] enough [Eb] to [F] only be [Eb] acquainted with his [Bb] name
When there's so [F] [Eb] much living [F] in his [Bb] presence we can gain
In this [Ab] moment of [Bb] ripple time has come [Gm] and gone
[Eb] [Bb] Seize every opportunity, taking the time to [Ebm] know him
[Gm] Not a day, not a [Ab] time, though [Bb] my Lord's taking each step too far
Everywhere [Gm] he leads [Bb] is where I'm gonna be
Spending the time of [C] my life [Bb] on the treasures [Ab] of [Bb] sinless love
Taking the time to [Ebm] know him [Gm] every moment of [Ab] my [Fm] [Bbm] life
My [Ebm] one desire [C] is to be [Db] worthy of his [B] [Bbm] call
[Gb] To be [Db] found [Bb] faithful [F] in his [Fm] [F] sight, in [G] his [Gm] [F] sight
[C] [Dm]
[G] [F] [G] [Dm] [G]
[C] From this very [D] moment on, [C] before time has [Am] come and gone
[Dm] Gotta seize [C] every opportunity, taking the [F] time to [Fm] know him
[C] Gotta make the [Dm] time, [C] though my Lord's taking each [Am] step too far
Anywhere he [Bb] leads is [C] where I'm gonna be
Spending the time of [Fm] my life [C] on the treasures [Dm] of sinless [C] love
Taking the [F] time to know him [C] every moment [Bb] of my [C] life
Taking the time to [Dm] know him, [C] gotta make the [Dm] time
[C] Though my Lord's taking each step too [Fm] far
[C] [D] Anywhere he leads is [C] where I'm gonna be
[Am] Spending the time of [Fm] my life [C] on the treasures [Dm] of [Gm] sinless [C] love
Taking the [F] time to know [Am] him every moment [Dm] [Am] [Em] of my life
Taking the [F] time to know him, [C] gotta make the [Bb] time
