Things You Never Gave Me

Music by David Meece
Lyrics by David Meece and Dwight Liles

Had a lot of dreams that never came true
Things I could have done,
But never got the chance to do
When I couldn't see the path of the storm
Your wisdom wouldn't let me go that way
And it broke my heart, but now my heart can say

Thank you for the times You said "No."
Thank you for the doors that You closed
All the ways You never let me go
And the things You never gave me
So many times I didn't understand
And wouldn't let You take my hand
But now I want to fall at Your feet
And thank You for the things
You never gave to me.

When I wanted less than what You had in mind
When I wanted more than I could handle at the time
When I needed You but turned You away
You wouldn't let me slip out of Your hand
I just didn't know, but now I understand
looking back across the years
I can see beyond the tears
And thank You.....thank You..

Just heard this on the radio a few moments ago, and fell instantly in love with it. Isn't so true tho that we won't always have the things we want from the Father not because He doesn't love us but He knows what is right for us and when it is right for us. Thank You God!

god knows whats best for us, even though we complain that he doesnt answer our prayers, but at the end of the day we're gonna see why he said no.

Today I saw an ad for a Standard Poodle puppy, I have tentatively looking for one for a little while now... and today God broke my heart when his answer was a resounding, "No" and now I have to thank him for that :'( and I wonder what God has in store for me in future... but right now it hurts...

[morfaryar]

when I first heard it,I was coming from the depths of depression.it offered me the footrock I so badly needed to climb out of the abyss.thanks you so much.when I saw it today,the emotions came flooding back and I wept;from the pure relief that when you let go and let God there's only one outcome---''thank you for the things you never gave to me''

[morfaryar]

this song;the moment I first heard it,gave me a complete turn-around of what I expected of,from Jesus ~

Why do I still love you, after everything that has happened?

[JenJui]

I can't believe I still love this man. But every time I hear this song by him, I still feel the pain. Wow. Why do I still love him after everything that has happened? I just don't know. :(

David Meece is simply an amazing singer/song writer with a truly God given talent
