Unanswered Prayers

Intro (spoken or sung, soft)

If God answered our prayers the way we want,

you’d never hear this song…

But sometimes His “No” is the only way to a greater “Yes.”

Verse 1

We pray for healing, we pray for a sign,

We believe You will move in our time.

But then comes silence, and it feels unfair,

So we cry out to heaven, “Lord, are You there?”

Chorus

Your ways are higher, Your love never fails,

Some of Your greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

We can’t see the plan, but we’ll trust Your hand,

Some of Your greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

Verse 2

We still remember the ones who have gone,

The grief and the weight we carry so long.

But years down the road, Lord, You open our eyes,

Through the pain and the loss, Your purpose survived.

Chorus

Your ways are higher, Your love never fails,

Some of Your greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

We can’t see the plan, but we’ll trust Your hand,

Some of Your greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

Bridge

If You answered “Yes,” we would not be here,

With the faith that has grown and the love we hold dear.

You were shaping my life in the depth of despair,

Through unanswered prayers, You were always there.

Final Chorus (repeat/extended for worship)

Your ways are higher, Your love never fails,

Some of Your greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

We can’t see the plan, but we’ll trust Your hand,

Some of Your greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

Outro (reflection)

If You gave what we asked, we might not be the same,

Our song would be silence, our story untold.

But Your “No” is a gift, it is love in disguise,

Through unanswered prayers, You open our eyes.
