God’s “No” Means “Something Better”


God’s “no” means “something better”–

I can trust Him with my all.

The God who formed the Universe

Attendeth when I call;

And when in love and wisdom

He withholds my heart’s request,

His “no” means “something better”–

He will give me what is best.


God’s “wait a while’s” bring blessings

That His “right away’s” withhold.

When He’s tried me in the fire

I shall then come forth as gold.

O what peace it brings in sorrow,

And what comfort fills my breast

Just to know, whate’er His answer,

He will give me what is best.
