I asked the Lord for patience
He threw me into the waiting
Told Him to make me righteous
And I almost became a bitter one

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 forest 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
