I asked the Lord for patience He threw me into the waiting Told Him to make me righteous And I almost became a bitter man Asked Him to heal His Church And He put my face to a mirror I sought the strength of God And I found it in my weakness Oh what a funny thing Thank God Your ways Are better than mine Thank God Your ways Are better than mine Now I see my foe as family When I know my God as Father And I walk the path that's narrow Even when it looks longer Now I know that I don't know better Thank God Your ways Are better than mine Thank God Your ways Are better than mine Break my heart If that's what it takes Find me faithful Good fruit takes time to grow Mold me shape me Change me daily Find me faithful Good fruit takes time to grow Thank God Your ways Are better than mine Thank God Your ways Are better than mine
