a flower on her family tree.
as her little black sheep
reveals a brand new destiny.
She whispers a prayer at their doorstep.
God won't you please turn the tide.
But he already knows the prayers
of those who greet her on the other side.
or will he answer theirs?
or the right and the wrong?
Is it already written in old gospel songs?
Do we ever confuse Him up there
Here stands a brave little soldier
with his country's flag on his sleeve.
He's living a little boy dream
and God knows he's waited a lifetime.
It's every prayer that is known.
They're just as brave with a
of the right and the wrong
Is it already written in old gospel songs
Do we ever confuse Him up there
And I'd go down on my knees,
but would God take my side?
A husband holds on to a picture
A black and white memory of old
The girl in the veil is now weak and frail
But his heart just won't let her go
There's no face in this world on his own
if she closed her eyes and moved on
What does God do with opposite prayers
or will He answer theirs?
or the right and the wrong?
Is it already written in old gospel songs?
Do we ever confuse Him up there?
Do we ever confuse Him up there?
Do we ever confuse Him up there
