Key: G
Introduction: D
G Em D
If I could only fly I'd go up
G C C/B Am D
And look down from the sky so I could see the bigger picture
G Em D
And Lord if I could sit with you at your feet
G C C/B Am D
For an hour or two, I'm sure I'd ask too many questions
C C/B D G
Cause there's so much going on down here,
G C7M
That I must confess I just don't understand,
D
I don't understand
G
But I have prayed and at your feet my whole life
G Bm C D Em
Has been laid, so I won't worry I won't be afraid
C Am G2
Cause my soul is resting on your higher ways
B2
So let the road ahead become unclear,
C D Em
Oh I am your so what have I to fear
C Am/C G
If my soul is resting on your higher ways
Eb D G
Your higher ways teach me to trust you
Eb D G A G
Your higher ways are not like mine
Em7 Bm
Your higher ways are the ways of a father,
C Am D G
Hiding his children in his love
G Bm
So let it rain and if my eyes grow dim with tears and of pain
C D Em
This hope I have will not be washed away
C A G
Cause my soul is resting on your higher ways
G2 Em7(11) D2
Someday I will fly and maybe then
C2 C/B Am D
You will take me aside and show me the bigger picture
G2 Em7(11) D/F#
But until I'm with you I'll be here
G C C/B
With a heart that is true,
Am7 D G2
And a soul that?s resting on your higher ways
