Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- For every care there’s an angel
Who makes the care seem small
For every prayer there’s an answer
From One Who answers all
Chorus:
The flowers prayed for sunshine
So God gave the flowers the Sun
The birds prayed to be merry
So God gave a song to each one
The trees prayed for the Springtime
So God gave the Spring to each tree
My lonely heart prayed for someone
So God gave you to me
- For every heart there is gladness
When eyes are wet with tears
For every care there’s an answer
From one Who always hears
