Intro (sung, soft, like a pre-verse)
If God had said “Yes” the way we asked Him to,
This song would be silence, it wouldn’t reach you.
But His greater mercy was found in His care,
Some of His greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
Verse 1
We pray for healing, we pray for a sign,
Believing You’ll move in Your perfect time.
But the answer is silence, the night feels unfair,
And 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 carry the sorrow, we walk through the loss,
We cling to the hope that was won on the cross.
And years down the road, Lord, You open our eyes,
Through the pain and the waiting, Your purpose survives.
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 might not be here,
With the faith that has grown and the love we hold dear.
You are shaping our lives in the depth of despair,
Through unanswered prayers, You are 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 (sung in rhythm, soft)
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.
