Album: No Fences
Just the other night a hometown football gameMy wife nd I ran into my old high school flameAnd as I introduced them the past came back to meAnd I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be.She was the one that I'd wanted for all timesAnd each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mineAnd if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back thenI'd never ask for anything again.Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayersRemember when you're talkin' to the man upstairsThat just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't careSome of God's Greatest Gifts are unanswered prayers.She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreamsAnd I could tell that time had changed meInn her eyes too it seemedWe tried to talk about the old daysThere wasn't much we could recallI guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all.And as she walked away and I looked at my wifeAnd then and there I thankedd the good LordFor the gifts in my life.
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayersRemember when you're talkin' to the man upstairsThat just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't careSome of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
