Sometimes the Answer's "No!"
         
         We often ask for selfish things
         that we don't really need,
         But God has never promised
         He would satisfy our greed.
         
        We can't all be rich or famous
         and live in luxury.
         Someone must wash the dishes
         and plant the apple tree.

         Everybody loves the winner
         who captures first place,
         But no one can remember
         the others in the race.

         Sometimes the things we pray for
         were never meant to be,
         And because we don't receive them,
         we doubt His love, you see.

         God hears every prayer we utter
         wherever we may go,
         And if He does not answer
         it could mean the answer's "No!"
