Though my lips were saying
God, you are good
My heart was asking
Is it really so?
You knew what I wanted
More than anything
That's the one thing
I felt you withhold
Cause you knew I wasn't ready
You knew the time it'd take
Now that I can see your wisdom
Standing in this place I say
Thank you for the not yet
Thank you for the not now
For the hold on, for the silence it took a while to see - how you were saving me for something
A little farther down the road - now I'm standing in your better yes
So thank you for the no
You were
Working on my patience
Leading me with love
You knew just how much I hate to wait
Through it you were tender
Teaching me to trust
Guess sometimes that's how you grow our faith so
Oh I can finally see it all your ways are better so much better
You're workin all things out for my good for my good
