| Unanswered Prayers Just the other night a hometown football game My wife nd I ran into my old high school flame And as I introduced them the past came back to me And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be She was the one that I'd wanted for all times And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then I'd never ask for anything again Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams And I could tell that time had changed me Inn her eyes too it seemed We tried to talk about the old days There wasn't much we could recall I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all And as she walked away and I looked at my wife And then and there I thankedd the good Lord For the gifts in my life Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care Some 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 |
| When You Come Back to Me Again There's a ship out On the ocean At the mercy of the sea It's been tossed about lost and broken Wandering aimlessly And God, somehow you know that ship is me There's a lighthouse in a harbor shining faithfully Pouring its light out across the water For this sinking soul to see That someone out there still believes in me On a prayer In a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Ahhh, raining down against the wind I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again There's a moment we all come to in our own time and our own space Where all that we've done we can undo if our heart's in the right place On a prayer In a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Ahhh, raining down against the wind I'm reaching out til' we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again And again I see my yesterdays in front of me Unfolding like a mystery You're changing all that is and used to be On a prayer In a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Ahhh, raining down against the wind I'm reaching out til' we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again (When you come back to me again) |
