Still Listening

Steven Curtis Chapman

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

Versión 2 - Still Listening (Letra y acordes)
Intro: B B4 B (3x)
 
B              B4   B 
There was time when I thought that I had You  
        B4  B 
Figured out 
B                 B4       B 
I told You before and I'll say once more 
                       B4     B 
Now and then I have my doubts 
E                                         B   B4 B 
I'll never pretend to know what You are doing 
     F#                 E             B    B4 B 
It's true that You move in mysterious ways 

[CHORUS]

                E 
I looked for You in 
         G#m 
The fire and the wind 
    F#                   E              B   B4 B 
But You weren't there as far as I could see 
E 
I thought I'd hear You shout 
           G#m 
But then I figured it out 
     F#               E             B  B4 B 
That all along You're whispering to me 
              B         B4 B       
And I'm still listening      

B 
Just when I thought that I had caught a glimpse of 
        B4  B 
who You are 
    B              B4    B 
You taught me a lesson I needed to learn 
      B              B4    B 
Right from the very start 
  E                                  B          B4 B 
I never will be the man that I quite need to be 
    F#                    E                   B B4 B 
But that's alright 'cause You're enough for me 
 
And...Chorus
