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