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
