He Will Outdo Ya

Can you anticipate God's power? 
Can you know what He is going to do?
I used to do that a lot
I used to think and think I know what He is going to do 
But He proved each time that I am not going to know
That what I think is limited comparing to His
He always does above and beyond what I think
I used to be mad at him
Thinking that he wouldn't do what I wanted
But you know what?  Each time and every time
So now tonight if you are mad at Him
Know that He will come through
More that you can ever ask for
But in His own way
You will see His way is more than yours
His gift is more than your equal
Now how is that for comparability?
You can't compare it, friend
If you are going to wish for something 
Know that He will outdo you
That is how He is
He would never let you teach Him something
It will be the other way around haha
As I've learned
So much of what I learned
Do you have anything to spare?
