Thank you for lack

Thank you for lack
by Joel Howard

I thank you
I thank you for lack, God
Thank you for what I don't have
Thank you for the productivity of all that lacks production
Thank you for the growth that it yields
Thank you for the growth that it yields!

Thank you
Thank you for my sleep, God
Thank you for all that you keep
That while I'm unconscious you're ever productive
Thank you for the strength that it yields
Thank you for the strength that it yields!

Bless you
Bless you for my pain, God
Bless you for all I can't explain
Bless you for the hurt and the joy that it works
Bless you for the joy that it works
Bless you for the joy in return!

Wow, God
Wow, God for my inner frustration
Wow, God for the depths that it came from
That under my heart is a place where you are
Wow, God, for the worth of the deep
Wow, God for the value indeed!

Halleluiah
Halleluiah for silence, O God
Halleluiah for looking behind us
That stopping to think yields a measureless stream
Halleluiah for Jesus in me
Halleluiah for what prayer can bring!

A shout 
A shout for withholding judgement, Jesus
A shout for the vengeance above us
That all that is hidden You'll soon be revealing
A shout for the value of waiting
A shout for the value to wait!

That's right
That's right we mourn differently, God
There's more to see than what we now see
While earth groans and waits You're preparing a place
That's right we will be there soon
We will be there sooner than soon!
