God Our Father, God Our Father,
     Once again, once again,
     We bow our heads and thank you, bow our heads and thank you
     Amen, Amen

     I would lay me down to sleep
     And pray the Lord my soul to keep
     And though I never saw Him there
     I believe he heard each prayer
 
     For God was great
     And God was good
     And I knew that if I spoke the words
     He would be listening

     The years can take us far away
     From the simple child-like faith
     But I am longing to return
     To the place where I first learned
 
     That God is great
     And God is good
     So I will speak the words

     God Our Father, once again
     I bow my head to pray
     You are my Father and my Friend
     And you hear every word I say

     A prayer for forgiveness
     A desperate cry for help
     Or praise flowing from a thankful heart
     Like each time before
     I come knowing you're still listening

     I will never understand
     How the words of mortal man
     Can reach the ears of One so pure
     And touch His heart
     But they do I'm sure

     For God is great
     And God is good
     And He is love

     God Our Father, once again
     I bow my head to pray
     You are my Father and my Friend
     And you hear every word I say

     A prayer for forgiveness
     A desperate cry for help
     Praise flowing from a thankful heart
     Like each time before
     I come knowing you're still listening, still listening

     And now I lay me down to sleep
     And pray the Lord my soul to keep
     And though I may not see you there
     I believe you'll hear each prayer
