He said it was not for him to take away, but for me to give up.
I asked God to make a handicapped child whole,
And God said ‘No’. He said her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.

He said patience is a by-product of tribulations. It is not granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness. And God said ‘NO’.
He Said he gives me blessings, happiness is up to me.
I asked God to spare my pain, And God said ‘NO’.
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my sprit grow. And God said ‘NO’.
He said I must grow on my own; but he will prune me to make me fruitful.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. And God said ‘NO’.
He said I will give you life, that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me love others, as much as he loves me.
And God said, Ah, finally you have an idea.
