Story Behind the Song
I was on a raft in my pool one day in the summertime trying to understand God’s timing and my uncertainties. I cried out to Him (yes, in the pool!), looked at the gorgeous sky and heard the answer to, “Why God?” I jumped out of the pool, ran into the house, sat down at the piano and wrote what He told me…Better Things
Lyrics
Sittin’ outside in the backyard on a hot summer’s day
I was takin’ in the sunshine as it fell on my face
Kickin’ back, relaxin’, thought the time was right
To reflect on the sweetness of Jesus
You see I was going through a season of confusion
Not knowing who, what, when or how
But to my surprise I heard a whisper
With words I’d been longing to hear
And He said…
(Chorus)
Better things, better things
Are on their way
Better things, better things
So I jumped up from where I was
Couldn’t believe that the Spirit of God spoke to me
Day after day and night after night
I’d ask to hear His voice
Almost gave up, thought it was useless
But His strength is perfect in my weakness
And when I cried He was crying along beside me
And at the right hand of God, He interceded on my behalf
Saying, “Father, give her a glimpse of You!”
(Chorus)
Trust in Me, cling to Me
And ride on my wings
‘Cause my promise is sure
So look for better things
(Bridge)
What makes me think I know more than my God
Why do I try to make sense of where I’m at
When the Almighty has taken my hand
And has shown my heart what lies ahead
Better things, better things
Are on their way
