Why, I've heard people say Why is this tree bent Why they don't have God enough to know Thats' the way that it was meant why is this little baby born all twisted and out of shape We're not to question what he does God makes no mistakes Why I've heard people say Why is my child blind Why is that old drunk still livin When a daddy like mine is dyin our blessed father gives us life has the power to take it away There's no reason for what he does God makes no mistakes Why I've heard people say God cannot be alive And all the things people say Has to be a lie When they're down and out And they need a hand And their very souls at stake If they'll call on him and just beleive God makes no mistakes
