Unanswered Yet
Author: Charles Tillman
Circa: 1894
Unanswered yet?
The prayers your lips have pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin to fail, is hope departing
And think you all in vain those falling tears?
Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer
You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere
You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet?
Though when you first presented
This one petition at the Father's throne
It seemed you could not wait the time of asking
So urgent was your heart to make it known
Though years have passed since then, do not despair
The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere
The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet?
Nay, do not say ungranted
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done
The work began when first your prayer was uttered
And God will finish what He has begun
If you will keep the incense burning there
His glory you shall see, sometime somewhere
His glory you shall see, sometime somewhere.
Unanswered yet?
Faith cannot be unanswered
Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock
Amid the wildest storm prayer stands undaunted
Nor quail before the loudest thunder shock
She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer
And cries, "It shall be done," sometime, somewhere
And cries, "It shall be done," sometime, somewhere.
