That's The Way God Planned It

Why can't we be humble

Like the good Lord said

He promised to exalt us

For love is the way

How men be so greedy

When there's so much left

All things are God given

And they all have been blessed

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be, didn't He

Well, that's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be, for you and me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Let not your heart be troubled

Let mourning sobbing cease

Learn to help one another

And live in perfect peace

If we just be humble

Like the good Lord said

He promised to exalt us

For love is the way

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be, doesn't He

You better believe me

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be, for you and me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

That's the way, alright

Come on, come on, come on

I hope you get this message

And where you won't others will

You don't understand me

But I'll love you still

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

You better believe me

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants, He wants it to be

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

Oh, yeah
