Why I've heard people say
"Why is this tree bent?"
Why they don't have God enough to know
That's 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
'Cause 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 that 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 believe
God makes no mistakes
