Thank You For the No

Though were lips were saying

God, you are good

My heart was asking, is it really so

You knew what I wanted

More than anything

But 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 for the not yet

Thank 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

And 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

(You know just how much I need to wait)

Through it you were tender

Teaching me to trust

Guess sometimes that's how you grow our faith

I say thank for the not yet

Thank 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

And now I'm standing in your better yes

So thank you for the no

Thank you for the no

Oh, I can finally see, yeah

All your ways are better

So much better

You're working all things out

For my good, for my good, so

Thank for the not yet

Thank 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

And now I'm standing in your better yes

I say thank for the not yet

Thank 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

And now I'm standing in your better yes

So thank you for the no

Oh, thank you for the no

Oh, thank you for the no

Thank you for the no

Oh, thank you for the no
