Why, I've heard people say   Why is this tree bent?   Why they don't have God enough to know?   Thats' 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
