[Intro]
Some prayers rise with tears in the night
Some hopes fade before the morning light
And when heaven is silent, when we don’t understand
Faith learns to trust the Father’s hand
[Verse 1]
Moses stood on Jordan, eyes on promised land
Forty years of leading with a staff in his hand
He prayed, “Lord let me cross, let me walk inside”
But God said, “No, My servant, from this side you’ll watch with pride”
David held his child and he fasted through the pain
Cried out to heaven, begged for life again
But God said, “No, son, I’ve got a plan you cannot see”
And mercy wrote a story through eternity
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes His answer breaks our heart in two
But His loving hands still carry us through
[Chorus]
Faith thru unanswered prayers
When heaven seems so far from here
When tears fall down and hope feels gone
His love keeps holding on
Though my plans may fall apart
He still knows every broken heart
What I don’t see, He sees so clear
I’ll trust His love thru unanswered prayers
[Verse 2]
Paul cried, “Lord please take this thorn away
Heal these eyes that trouble me each day”
But Jesus whispered, “My grace is enough for you
My strength shines brightest when you’re broken through”
In Gethsemane Jesus fell to pray
“Father let this cup be taken away”
But love said no, for a cross must be
So we would never face eternity alone and separated from Thee
[Pre-Chorus]
When God says no, it’s not the end
His greater purpose still begins
[Chorus]
Faith thru unanswered prayers
When heaven seems so far from here
When tears fall down and hope feels gone
His love keeps holding on
Though my plans may fall apart
He still knows every broken heart
What I don’t see, He sees so clear
I’ll trust His love thru unanswered prayers
[Verse 3]
We all have nights where we beg and cry
Asking God the reason why
Dreams we held can slip away
And silence meets the words we pray
But every no is not goodbye
Sometimes mercy wears disguise
And down the road our hearts will find
His better plan was there the whole time
[Final Chorus]
Faith thru unanswered prayers
When I can’t feel You anywhere
When tears run down and faith grows weak
You’re still the strength I seek
Though my dreams have come undone
Your perfect will is greater, Lord
What broke my heart, You held so near
And loved me thru unanswered prayers
Yes, You loved me thru unanswered prayers
[Outro]
What I called broken
Was still in Your hands
What I called no
Was part of Your plan
So I’ll trust Your love
When I don’t understand
Faith thru unanswered prayers
Held safe in Your hands
