God Saved the Best for Last - Mikhail Bennett
I thought my story ended
The day she slipped away
The house still got her laughter
The nights still got the beer
You watched my boy keep driving
With tears I couldn't hide
I blame the world for leaving
When I was lost inside
There were bottles on the table
And a bible covered in dust
I almost stopped believing
But God never stopped loving us
When I could not find tomorrow
When hope was fading fast
He whispered to my broken soul
I'm not finished yet
God saved the best for last
When I thought my life was over
He turned my tears to mercy
And my winter into glow up
He gave me back my family
One prayer, one day, one heart
I thought heaven had forgotten me
God saved the best for last
Years became my teacher
Grace became my friend
The road I thought was finished
Was only just the bend
My son came to the doorway
With trembling in his eyes
He didn't bring me answers
He brought a little life
That I held my grandson
The first time in my hands
And every broken piece of me
He begins to breathe again
God saved the best for last
Not riches, not fame, not glory
But a child calling me grandpa
With heaven in his smile
He healed what I had broken
He mended what I tore apart
I never heard his kindness
God saved the best for last
Sometimes God is silent
Because he's building something greater
Sometimes he lets us wander
So we'll know the way back home
Sometimes the longest winters
Grow the sweetest spring
And sometimes the greatest blessing
Arise after you stop waiting
God saved the best for last
Not because I deserved it
But because his mercy
Never stopped searching for me
He gave me peace instead of pride
He gave me faith instead of fear
He gave me love when I had nothing left
to give
Now every sunrise feels like grace
Every heartbeat feels like borrowed time
And every prayer reminds me
The greatest miracle was never that my life
became easy
It was that God never gave up
on me
If you're still grieving
God is still writing
If you're still here
Hope is still alive
Your greatest chapter
Then I'll be behind you it may be
The one God saved
for last
