Some people think it's all about the here and now
Of getting what we want rapidly somehow
And constantly we ask the Lord for more
And get upset when He seems to ignore
Our requests for the physical,
Desires for material (things)
But sometimes God will say wait or no
And for this I'm so very grateful
Because deep in my soul I know

You want what's best for me
For me-ee-ee-ee-ee
And not just for the temporary
But for all of eternity
When you say no-oh-oh
Wait, stay or go-oh-oh
It's because you love me and
You want what's best for me
Eternally

Sometimes we cannot see what's truly good or bad
And we don't know what would happen if we got that
Thing we so desired here and now
For our flesh is yelling so very loud
But those things can be a curse
And lead us to a world of hurt
So sometimes God will say wait or no
And for this I'm so very grateful
Because deep in my soul I know

You want what's best for me
For me-ee-ee-ee-ee
And not just for the temporary
But for all of eternity
When you say no-oh-oh
Wait, stay or go-oh-oh
It's because you love me and
You want what's best for me
Eternally

So when I doubt
When I want to shout
'Cause you said no
Help me remember
You're my Savior
And that you know
What will give me life
And what will lead to death
And truly you want what's best
For me
Yes, you do, this is true

You want what's best for me
For me-ee-ee-ee-ee
And not just for the temporary
But for all of eternity
When you say no-oh-oh
Wait, stay or go-oh-oh
It's because you love me and
You want what's best for me
Eternally
Yes I know-oh-oh-oh-oh
You want what's best for me
For me-ee-ee-ee-ee
And not just for the temporary
But for all of eternity
When you say no-oh-oh
Wait, stay or go-oh-oh
It's because you love me and
You want what's best for me
Eternally

For you are my good shepherd Jesus
So I will trust in you no matter what
And say let your will be done in me
For I know, oh, oh, oh, oo, oh
You want what's best for me
Eternally!
