Tom Wright Poet Lyric

God, Knows What's Best For Me

God, Knows What's Best For Me
By: Tom Wright
1998

Lord, lo these many days I've prayed,
from heaven that you'd see fit to send.
Relief, in that summers heat be stayed,
you sent dark clouds, a cooling wind.

The earth cries out your name in vain,
for her parched tongue is bad athirst.
I thank you Lord, for soothing rain,
a lightning's bolt and thunder's burst.

God, forbid, that I in haste might fail,
in giving praise for all you send my way.
In times of need your name I'll not assail,
you alone know what's best for me today.
