god who listens

the god who made the winters and the summers

the one who put the stars all in their place

the only one who stands above all others

he knows me by name

the angels hide their faces in his presence

the demons run for cover when you speak

you rule the world and reign above the heavens

and still draw close to me

when i close my eyes

i know that

i'm not just hopin'

i'm not just wishin'

i know i'm prayin' to a god who listens

i know he hears me

i know he's livin'

yes

i am prayin' to a god who listens

he walks with me and leads me by still waters

i lay my troubles down at his feet

it's amazing that the savior and the father

he is a friend to me

how can it be

oh?

i'm not just hopin'

i'm not just wishin'

i know i'm prayin' to a god who listens

i know he hears me

i know he's livin'

yes

i am prayin' to a god who listens

your god who listens

who knows me

who loves me

who never will fail me

who tells me that i am his own

and you surround me

remind me

you always are for me

so i come boldly to your throne

i'm not just hopin'

i'm not just wishin'

yes

i am prayin' to a god who listens

that we've been given
