Intro: A E A  Dadd9 x 2 
 
A               E 
You who live in heaven  
         Dadd9                           Esus    E 
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth  
         A              E                Dadd9 
Who are afraid of being left by those we love  
           F#m7           Esus    E 
And who get hardened by the hurt  
 
   Bm           A                   Dadd9                  
Do you remember when You lived down here  
           Esus    E 
where we all scrape  
   Bm                A             Dadd9 
To find the faith to ask for daily bread  
     Bm          A             E/G#           A  
Did You forget about us after You had flown away  
       Bm         A            Dadd9 
Well I memorized every word You said 
Bm                       A            Dadd9 
  Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath 
      Bm                   Esus    E       A    
While You're up there just playing hard to get  
 
 A  E  A   Dadd9   
    
A               E 
You who live in radiance 
         Dadd9                           Esus    E 
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin  
          A                 E                   Dadd9 
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was  
         F#m7           Esus    E 
Still we do love now and then  
    Bm            A 
Did You ever know loneliness  
    Dadd9        Esus  E 
Did You ever know need 
       Bm                A                Dadd9 
Do You remember just how long a night can get?  
    Bm              A  
When You were barely holding on  
    E/G#                A 
And Your friends fall asleep  
          Bm                   A              Dadd9 
And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat  
    Bm                 A                Dadd9  
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted  
     Bm                    Esus    E       A 
While You're up there just playing hard to get?  
 
D                          A 
   And I know you bore our sorrows  
Bm7                        A    
   And I know you feel our pain 
D                          C#m 
   And I know it would not hurt any less  
Bm        A              E/G#  E 
  Even if it could be explained  
F#m               E/G#  A 
  And I know that I am only lashing out  
       Bm              A      D 
At the One who loves me most  
Bm     A           E/G#          A  
   And after I have figured this, somehow 
Bm                     Esus   E 
   All I really need to know 
 
      A               E 
Is if You who live in eternity 
         Dadd9                            Esus   E 
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time  
   A                E 
We can't see what's ahead  
          Dadd9           F#m7             Esus    E 
And we can not get free of what we've left behind 
    Bm                 A               Dadd9           Esus   E 
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears 
        Bm                 A                Dadd9  
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret 
 
  Bm                   A            E/G#               A 
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here  
          Bm             A             Dadd9 
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led  
    Bm                  A           Dadd9 
And so You've been here all along I guess  
              Bm                Esus        E      A 
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get 
E A  Dadd9  A
