[Verse 1]
Why, I've heard people say
Why is this tree bent?
Why, they don't have God enough to know
That's 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

[Verse 2]
Why, I've heard people say
Why is my child blind?
Why is that old drunk still living
When a daddy like mine is dying?
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

[Verse 3]
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 soul's at stake
If they'll call on him and just believe
God makes no mistakes
