Thank You For The No Lyrics

Thank You For The No Lyrics by REBEKAH DAWN

For every single time that You said "no"
And every time You closed the door
I lift my hands and I say "thank You"
For every single time that You said "wait"
And every time You changed the way
And lead me to where I didn't think I should be
Because only You could see
How much I needed You to lead 
Here I am by Your hand
Because of Your kindness to refuse
What, at the time, I called good
Here I am by Your grace
Because of Your wisdom to deny
What, at the time, I called right
Oh, thank You for the "no"
Oh, I praise You in this wait 

And even in this fire that I face
I know You're the God Who never change
And You will use this for my good
And even when I cannot understand
I know You're the God Who has a plan
And that Your ways are not anything like mine
You're intentional, and I can fully
Trust You with my life
Here I am by Your hand
Because of Your kindness to refuse
What, at the time, I called good
Here I am by Your grace
Because of Your wisdom to deny
What, at the time, I called right
Oh, thank You for the "no"
Oh, I praise You in the wait 
 

It's not happening to me
It's happening for me
Not just when I hear a "yes" and "now"
But with the "no" and "wait" I still bow
In surrender and in praise
I'm as grateful either way
'Cause both are from You
And both are for me
Both "yes" and "no"
Are setting me free
They're both from Your heart
They're both for Your glory
They're both for my good
They're both for my story 
So I will lift my song and I will praise
For when I'm in Your hands, either way
I have a reason to rejoice
Oh, thank You for the "no"
