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 And 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 And when I close my eyes I know that I'm not just hoping I'm not just wishing I know I'm praying To a God who listens I know He hears me I know He's living Yes, I am praying To a God who listens He walks with me and leads me by still waters I lay my troubles down at His feet (I lay my troubles down) It's amazing that the Savior and the Father He is a friend to me How can it be, oh? I'm not just hoping I'm not just wishing I know I'm praying To a God who listens I know He hears me I know He's living Yes, I am praying (yes, I am praying) To a 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 hoping I'm not just wishing Yes, I'm praying To a God who listens Oh, what a promise That we've been given Yes, we are praying To a God who listens
