Still Listening

(album: Heaven In The Real World - 1994)

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.
