Still Listening
Steven Curtis Chapman
[Verse 1]
G D Em7
I would lay me down to sleep
C D G
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
D Em7
And though I never saw Him there
C D G
I believe He heard each prayer
C G
For God was great, And God was good
Am7 G C
And I knew if I spoke the words
D7sus C
He would be listening
[Verse 2]
G D Em7
The years can take us far away
C D G
From the simple child like faith
G D Em7
But I am longing to return
C D G
To the place where I first learned
C G
That God is great, and God is good
Am7 G C
So, I will speak the words
[Chorus]
G Em D G
God, our Father, once again
G C
I bow my head to pray
G Em D G G C
You are my Father and my friend, and You hear every word I say
G Am7 B Em
A prayer for forgiveness, a desprate cry for help
D G C
Or praise flowin from a thankful heart
Am7 D C G
Like each time before, I come knowin You're still listening
[Verse 3]
G D Em7
I will never understand
C D G
How the words of mortal man
G D Em7
Can reach the ears of One so pure
C D G
And touch His heart, They do, I'm sure
C G
For God is great, and God is good
Am7 G
And He is love
[Chorus]
