Thank You For The No

[Intro]
 
[Verse 1]
C
Though my lips were saying
 
"God, you are good"
F
My heart was asking, is it really so
Dm
You knew what I wanted
 
More than anything
                F
But that's the one thing I felt you withhold
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
'Cause you knew I wasn't ready
C
You knew the time it'd take
F
Now that I can see your wisdom
 
Standing in this place
 
[Chorus]
       C
I say thank for the not yet
 
Thank for the not now
         F
For the hold on, for the silence
 
It took a while to see
              Dm
How you were saving me for something
 
A little farther down the road
              F
And now I'm standing in your better yes
                       C     F
So thank you for the no
 
[Verse 2]
          C
You were working on my patience
 
Leading me with love
F
You knew just how much I hate to wait
 
(You know just how much I need to wait)
Dm
Through it you were tender
 
Teaching me to trust
F
Guess sometimes that's how you grow our faith
 
[Chorus]
       C
I say thank for the not yet
 
Thank for the not now
         F
For the hold on, for the silence
 
It took a while to see
              Dm
How you were saving me for something
 
A little farther down the road
              F
And now I'm standing in your better yes
                       C
So thank you for the no
                    F
Thank you for the no
 
[Bridge]
Dm   C                F
Oh,    I can finally see, yeah
                    G
All your ways are better
 
So much better
Dm   C                            F
Oh,    You're working all things out
 
For my good, for my good, so
 
[Chorus]
C
Thank for the not yet
 
Thank for the not now
         F
For the hold on, for the silence
 
It took a while to see
              Dm
How you were saving me for something
 
A little farther down the road
              F
And now I'm standing in your better yes
 
[Chorus / Outro]
       C
I say thank for the not yet
 
Thank for the not now
         F
For the hold on, for the silence
 
It took a while to see
              Dm
How you were saving me for something
 
A little farther down the road
              F
And now I'm standing in your better yes
                       C
So thank you for the no
                        F
Oh, thank you for the no
                        C
Oh, thank you for the no
                    F
Thank you for the no
                             C
Oh, thank you for the no
