Are You Sure

(album: For What It's Worth - 1967)

Are you sure your prayers
Haven't been answered?
Now think, brother think

Are you sure your prayers
Haven't been answered?
Now think, singer think

And don't you dare
Say the good Lord didn't hear you
He hears and sees everything you do
Start right now and take the inventory
You'll come up with a different story

Because He sees every move you make
Every waggle of your head
Every wink of your eye
He hears the laugh you're laughing
And hears tears you cry
You may not know how to pray
But He loves you when you try
So raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you, hear you

Because He sees every move you make
Every waggle of your head
And wink of your eye
He hears the laugh you're laughing
And hears tears you cry
You may not know how to pray
But He loves you when you try
So raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you, hear you

Are you sure
You haven't been answered?
Now think, you'd better think

Are you sure, real sure
You haven't been answered?
Now think, sister think

Don't you dare
Say the good Lord didn't hear you
He hears and sees everything you do
Start right now and take the inventory
You'll come up with a different story

Because He sees every move you make
Every waggle of your head
And wink of your eye
He hears the laugh you're laughing
And hears tears you cry
You may not know how to pray
But He loves you when you try
So raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you, hear you

Raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear you, hear you
Raise your voices high
And the Lord will hear...
I've tried him in the morning
Tried him in the noon
Tried him in the midnight hour
I'm a witness
