VERSE 1

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 

CHORUS

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine

VERSE 2

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

CHORUS

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine

BRIDGE

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 (Oh)

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

CHORUS

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine

Thank God

Your ways are better than mine
