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


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
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     C
And He is love
