Verse 1 The day is long, the shadows fall, The weight is hard to bear. I turn my heart away from all, And find you in a prayer. You are the Hearer of the plea, The One who knows my frame. You listen close and comfort me, When I call on your name. Chorus Oh, what a gift to speak to you, Creator of the sky. To know you hear each word I say, And see each tear I cry. Through Jesus Christ, the living way, I come before your throne. I never have to walk a day Or face a test alone. Verse 2 I do not need a fancy word Or phrases loud and long. The quiet whisper can be heard, You make the weak ones strong. I tell you of my deepest fears, My joys and failures too. You wipe away the lonely tears, And make my spirit new. Chorus Oh, what a gift to speak to you, Creator of the sky. To know you hear each word I say, And see each tear I cry. Through Jesus Christ, the living way, I come before your throne. I never have to walk a day Or face a test alone. Bridge Before a word is on my tongue, You know what I will say. From early years when I was young, You’ve led me in your way. Final Chorus Oh, what a gift to speak to you, Creator of the sky. In every care, in every joy, To lift my heart on high. Your peace will guard my restless mind, Your love will hold me near. I rest within your faithful care, My Father always here.
