Album: Chris Tomlin & Friends
Verse 1
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
Pre-Chorus
And when I close my eyes
I know that
Chorus
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
Verse 2
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?
Chorus
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
You're a God who listens
Bridge
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
Chorus
I'm not just hoping
I'm not just wishing
I know I'm praying
To a God who listens
Oh, what a promise
That we've been giving
Yes, we are praying
To a God who listens
Yes, You are, yes, You are
Ooh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
I'm not just hoping (I'm not just hoping)
I'm not just wishing (I'm not just wishing)
