Unanswered Prayers

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and 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
In 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

As 2011 starts I can't help but stop and be thankful for all my unanswered prayers throughout the past year as well as the answered too.


I have never felt as humbled and grateful for anything in my life as I have the past couple months and I have every intention of keeping it just that way.


I am so excited and pumped for the new year and I can't wait to see what it brings.
Because baby this is my year!! WOOP*WOOP*
