Father Hear The Prayer We Offer chords by Songs Of Praise

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
F                Dm
Father, hear the prayer we offer:
Bb      F                      C
not for ease that prayer shall be,
F        Bb            F      Bb
but for strength, that we may ever
F         Bb   C         F
live our lives courageously.


Verse 2:
F            Dm
Not for ever in green pastures
Bb      F            C
do we ask our way to be;
F        Bb            F  Bb
but the steep and rugged pathway
F         Bb   C       F
may we tread rejoicingly.

Verse 3:
F           Dm
Not forever by still waters
Bb        F            C
would we idly rest and stay;
F          Bb          F      Bb
but would smite the living fountains
F         Bb    C         F
from the rocks along our way.

Verse 4:
F                  Dm
Be our strength in hours of weakness,
Bb      F                 C
in our wanderings be our Guide;
F        Bb            F      Bb
through endeavor, failure, danger,
D       Gm      C         F
Savior, be thou at our side.
