Higher Ways

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

And I have prayed, that 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

For I am yours 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 of pain

This hope I have will not be washed away

Because this soul of mine 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

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

Your higher ways

Resting on your higher ways
