Thank You for the No

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 it All your ways are better So much better You're working all things out For my good For my good So 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 And now I'm standing in Your better yes 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 And now I'm standing in Your better yes So thank You for the no Oh, thank You for the no (oh thank you) Oh, thank You Thank You for the no Oh, thank You for the no
