Verse 1 
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 
 
Verse 2 
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 


 
Refrão -------------
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

Verse 3 
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
