(Loretta Lynn)

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
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 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 beleive
God makes no mistakes...
