Still Listening - Steven Curtis Chapman

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 child like 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

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

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 pray 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

You’re still listening

Now I lay me down to sleep

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

Though I may not see You there

I believe You’ll hear each prayer
