|  | | 1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
