God Wants to Hear You Sing - Lyrics with Guitar Chords

C-G      C                             G
Their chains were fastened tight
F                                C
Down at the jail that night
        F                   G                       C-F-G
Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed
C                                             G        F                       C
They said, "It's time to lift our voice, sing praises to the Lord
            F                        G                             C-F-G
Let's prove that we will trust Him come what may"

Chorus:
         C                       Am
God wants to hear you sing
                    F                         C
When the waves are crashing 'round you
                 F                   C
When the fiery darts surround you
             Am                  G-G7
When despair is all you see
         C                           G
God wants to hear your voice
                   F                    C
When the wisest man has spoken
                        F                          Am                G
And says, "Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be"
                   F                   G           C-F-G-G7
That's when God wants to hear you sing

         C                      G      F                      C
He loves to hear our praise on our cheerful days
                   F                        G                      C-F-G-G7
When the pleasant times outweigh the bad, by far
G               C                     G
But when suffering comes along
F                               C
And we still sing Him songs
F                         G                        C-F-C-G7
That is when we bless the Father's heart.
