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
