- Length: 3:23
In "Unanswered Prayers," a man runs into his high school sweetheart at a home town football game. As he introduces her to his wife, he reminisces about that past relationship and how he had once prayed so fervently that this girl would be his forever. Now looks to his wife and realizes that God knew what He was doing all along:
- Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
- Remember when you're talking to the Man upstairs
- That just because He doesn't answer doesn't mean He don't care
- Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
