God Who Listens

(album: Chris Tomlin & Friends - 2020)

The God who made the winters and the summers
The One who put the stars all in their place
The only One who stands above all others
And He knows me by name
The angels hide their faces in His presence
The demons run for cover when You speak
You rule the world and reign above the heavens
And still draw close to me

And when I close my eyes
I know that

I'm not just hoping
I'm not just wishing
I know I'm praying
To a God who listens
I know He hears me
I know He's living
Yes, I am praying
To a God who listens

He walks with me and leads me by still waters
I lay my troubles down at His feet
It's amazing that the Savior and the Father
He is a friend to me
How can it be, oh?

I'm not just hoping
I'm not just wishing
I know I'm praying
To a God who listens
I know He hears me
I know He's living
Yes, I am praying (Yes, I am praying)
To a God who listens
You're a God who listens

Who knows me
Who loves me
Who never will fail me
Who tells me that I am His own
And You surround me, remind me
You always are for me
So I come boldly to Your throne

I'm not just hoping
I'm not just wishing
I know I'm praying
To a God who listens
Oh, what a promise
That we've been given
Yes, we are praying
To a God who listens
Yes, You are, yes, You are
Ooh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
I'm not just hoping (I'm not just hoping)
I'm not just wishing (I'm not just wishing)
