Look a Little Closer

Open my eyes… let me see it…
Every breath… every step…
Your goodness all around me…
Verse 1 – grounded, reflective
Wake to the light peeking in through the shade,
Another new mercy that You already made,
Before my feet even touch the floor,
You been workin’ in ways I can’t ignore
Coffee still warm, sun on my face,
Little reminders of Your steady grace,
It’s easy to miss in the rush of the day,
But I slow it down… and I choose to say—
There You are in the small, unseen
In between every moment, in the in-between
Not always loud, not always clear
But if I look close… I find You here
Pre-Chorus – lift
So open my eyes to the gifts I pass
The quiet blessings that never last
Let my heart stay soft, aware, awake
Every step I take… every breath I take
Chorus – bright, peaceful groove
I see Your goodness in the everyday
In the simple things that come my way
Not just the highs, not just the grand
But right here, right now… in the palm of Your hand
I’m gonna look a little closer, slow my pace
Find Your fingerprints in every place
Through the joy, through the strain
Your goodness fallin’ like gentle rain
Verse 2 – hopeful, outward focus
In a neighbor’s smile, in a stranger’s need
In a chance to serve, in a planted seed
In a door that opens just in time
Or a closed one saving this heart of mine
In the hard conversations, grace still speaks
In the worn-down soul that’s feelin’ weak
In the second chance I didn’t deserve
Still You show up… still You serve
And it’s not always how I planned it out
Sometimes it comes through the middle of doubt
But even there, if I choose to see
There’s a thread of goodness reachin’ me
Pre-Chorus – rising awareness
Teach me to notice, teach me to feel
The quiet ways that Your love reveals
Not chase the moment, but let it be
Exactly where You’re meetin’ me
Chorus – fuller, richer
I see Your goodness in the everyday
In the simple things that come my way
Not just the highs, not just the grand
But right here, right now… in the palm of Your hand
I’m gonna look a little closer, slow my pace
Find Your fingerprints in every place
Through the joy, through the strain
Your goodness fallin’ like gentle rain
Bridge – roots chant, meditative
Open my eyes… let me see
All the good You’ve given me
Right here, right now
In the here and now
(Repeat, harmonies building)
Not tomorrow… not someday
You’re still good… today
Breakdown – half-time, reflective
Even in the moments I don’t understand
You’re still holdin’ everything in Your hands
What feels like loss, what feels like pain
Still watered by a deeper rain
So I’ll keep lookin’, I’ll keep leanin’ in
Findin’ Your light through thick and thin
‘Cause every day got something true—
A glimpse of heaven breaking through
Final Chorus – lift, joyful but grounded
I see Your goodness in the everyday
In every step along the way
Through open doors and closed ones too
I’m still surrounded, Lord, by You
I’m gonna walk with a grateful sight
