Intro: G D G  Cadd9 x 2

G               D
You who live in heaven 
         Cadd9                           Dsus    D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth 
         G              D                Cadd9
Who are afraid of being left by those we love 
           Em7           Dsus    D
And who get hardened by the hurt 

   Am           G                   Cadd9                 
Do you remember when You lived down here 
           Dsus    D
where we all scrape 
   Am                G             Cadd9
To find the faith to ask for daily bread 
     Am          G             D/F#           G 
Did You forget about us after You had flown away 
       Am         G            Cadd9
Well I memorized every word You said
Am                       G            Cadd9
  Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
      Am                   Dsus    D       G   
While You're up there just playing hard to get

G               D
You who live in radiance
         Cadd9                           Dsus    D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin 
          G                 D                   Cadd9
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was 
         Em7           Dsus    D
Still we do love now and then 
    Am            G
Did You ever know loneliness 
    Cadd9        Dsus  D
Did You ever know need
       Am                G                Cadd9
Do You remember just how long a night can get? 
    Am              G 
When You were barely holding on 
    D/F#                G
And Your friends fall asleep 
          Am                   G              Cadd9
And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat 
    Am                 G                Cadd9 
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted 
     Am                    Dsus    D       G
While You're up there just playing hard to get? 



C                          G
   And I know you bore our sorrows 
Am7                        G   
   And I know you feel our pain
C                          Bm
   And I know it would not hurt any less 
Am        G              D/F#  D
  Even if it could be explained 
Em               D/F#  G
  And I know that I am only lashing out 
       Am              G      C
At the One who loves me most 
Am     G           D/F#          G 
   And after I have figured this, somehow
Am                     Dsus   D
   All I really need to know

      G               D
Is if You who live in eternity
         Cadd9                            Dsus   D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time 
   G                D
We can't see what's ahead 
          Cadd9           Em7             Dsus    D
And we can not get free of what we've left behind
    Am                 G               Cadd9           Dsus   D
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears
        Am                 G                Cadd9 
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret

  Am                   G            D/F#               G
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here 
          Am             G             Cadd9
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led 
    Am                  G           Cadd9
And so You've been here all along I guess 
              Am                Dsus        D      G
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
D G  Cadd9  G
