(Verse 1)
Prayers bouncing off the wall. I wonder if He hears at all.
Or am I too impatient to see how He'll answer my call.
Kneeling with an empty heart, sometimes I don't know where to
start;
While I struggle to pray God is there with His grace to impart.

(Chorus)
The answer to our prayers may not be what we expect;
Jesus may not always answer "Yes."
For if we pray, "Lord, what will You have me to do?"
He may choose that suffer - ing is best.
And we don't always know just how our prayers will be heard
But our Lord is there to inter - cede.
The answer to our prayers may not be what we want
But they'll be just what we need.

(Verse 2)
Praying comes so easily with trouble and distress and need;
As a last resort how often we find that we fall on our knees.
Lord, help me live from day to day in such a self-forgetful way,
So my prayers will be directed to others each time that I pray.

(Bridge)
God wants us to place all of our trust in Him
And as we do our prayers will end in thankful - ness,
triumph, and praise.

(Tag)
And we don't always know just how our prayers will be heard
But our Lord is there to intercede.
The answer to our prayers may not be what we want
But they'll be just what we need.
