C D G Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
G D
Their chains were fastened tight
Em G
Down at the jail that night
C D G
Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed
G D
They said, “It’s time to lift our voice,
Em G
Sing praises to the Lord
C D G
Let’s prove that we will trust Him come what may”
[Chorus]
G D
God wants to hear you sing
Cadd9 G
When the waves are crashing ‘round you
Cadd9 Em
When the fiery darts surround you
C D
When despair is all you see
G D
God wants to hear your voice
C G
When the wisest man has spoken
C Em D D7
And says, “Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be”
C D G
That’s when God wants to hear you sing
[Verse 2]
G D Em G
He loves to hear our praise on our cheerful days
C D G
When the pleasant times outweigh the bad, by far
G D
But when suffering comes along
Em G
And we still sing Him songs
C D G
That is when we bless the Father’s heart
[Chorus]
G D
God wants to hear you sing
Cadd9 G
When the waves are crashing ‘round you
Cadd9 Em
When the fiery darts surround you
C D
When despair is all you see
G D
God wants to hear your voice
C G
When the wisest man has spoken
C Em D D7
And says, “Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be”
C D G
That’s when God wants to hear you sing
[Outro]
C D G Cadd9 G
That’s when God wants to hear you sing
