Cherie Call - No

I was listening to a few songs that I have on my computer and one of my favorite songs came up. It is by Cherie Call and it is called, "No." I heard once that if you want to make God laugh, try to plan out your life. I think we have all felt that way before. Hope you enjoy this song as much as I did. If you want to hear it with the music, it's at the bottom of this page.

A little boy at the end of a day

Knelt by his bed to say a prayer

Father up in heaven heard the prayer he prayed

And listened to each word with greatest care

The boy said, "Please bless that tomorrow I won't have to take a bath

And bless that they will cancel school for snow."

And God had the power to protect him, and never let him grow.

And He said no.

A young man was holding tightly to the hand of a girl who had to say good bye

And as she walked away he had to whisper a prayer a

As he fought every tear that filled his eye

He whispered, "Please can you make her turn around and change her mind,

It's the deepest hurt that I have ever known."

And God had the power to protect him, and never let him grow.

And He said no.

And there are yeses that Father can hardly wait to give

And they are packed in every crevice of the lives we live

And sometimes God will pour down miracles and amazing twists of fate.

But other times he chooses just to whisper "wait."

And how many times have I prayed for blue skies,

So no one has to cancel the game.

And I feel so abandoned when the sky gets dark,

Never knowing all the ones who prayed for rain.

And usually the story's usually even trickier than this.

With solutions only God could know.

But if you ask him if He's ever overlooked you

Or seized to love you so.

He'll say no.
