Still Listening

God our Father, God our Father

Once again, once again.

We bow our heads and thank You

Bow our heads and thank You

Amen, Amen.



I would lay me down to sleep

And pray the Lord my soul to keep.

And though I never saw Him there,

I believe He heard each prayer.

For God was great,

And God was good.

And I knew if I spoke the words,

He would be listening.



The years can take us far away

From the simple childlike faith.

But I am longing to return

To the place where I first learned.

That God is great and God is good

So I will speak the words



Chorus:

God our Father, once again

I bow my head to pray.

You are my Father and my Friend,

And You hear every word I say.

A prayer for forgiveness,

A desperate cry for help,

Or praise flowing from a thankful heart.

Like each time before

I come knowing You're still listening.



I will never understand

How the words of mortal man,

Can reach the ears of one so pure

And touch His heart, but they do I'm sure.

For God is great and God is good, and He is love.



Chorus:

God our Father, once again

I bow my head to pray.

You are my Father and my Friend,

And You hear every word I say.

A prayer for forgiveness,

A desperate cry for help,

Praise flowing from a thankful heart.

Like each time before

I come knowing You're still listening.

Still listening



Now I lay me down to sleep,

And pray the Lord my soul to keep.

And though I may not see You there,

I believe You'll hear each prayer.
