G/F            C/E
Dear God, are you there
F/A        Em/G      Dm C/E G/F
Can you hear me, do you care
                C/E
Dear God, here are we
F/A        Em/G       Dm C/E   Esus4  E
Less than perfect, far from free

E        Am            G    F          D/F#   G        E/G#  Am
Oh we take what we get and we don't take no more
      G    F               D/F# G        E/G# Am    G     F       Gsus4  G
But we sometimes forget what it was you created us for

Dear God, now's the time
If you're listening, show some sign
Dear God, hear me plead
Don't desert us in our need

Dear God, lend a hand
Is this really what you planned
Dear God, in you we trust
Though we've failed you, don't fail us

Oh we take what we get but we can't take much more
Do you sometimes forget what it was you created us for, dear God

G    C    C9/Bb    A7    Dm    Fm6/Ab 
G    C    C9/Bb    A7    Dm    C/E

G7/F          C/G                         G7/B            C
Dear God,I hope and pray you'll lead us to a brighter day
F                C/E              Dm             Gsus4  G7/F
Out of the darkness and light up our way, dear God
  C/G                          G7/B            C
I hope and pray you'll lead us to a better way
F                C/E           Dm               Dm/G      C
Love is the answer so light up our way, dear God
F                F/G                            G/F C/E
Light up our way dear God, dear God
F                C/E            Dm       C/E F/G           C
Love is the answer so light up our way, dear God
