Standard (EADGBE)
1. If I could only fly Id 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, Im sure Id ask too many questions
cause theres so much going on down here,
that I must confess I just dont understand,
I dont understand
But I have prayed and at your feet my whole life
has been laid, so I wont worry I wont be afraid
cause my soul is resting on your higher ways.
So let the road ahead become unclear,
oh I am yours so what have I to fear
If my soul is resting on your higher ways.
Chorus
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.
(hopefully you can figure out the rest because it is all the
same as the other verses)
2. So let it rain and if my eyes grow dim with tears
of pain, this hope I have will not be washed away,
cause my soul is resting on your higher ways
(does an instrumental and then repeats chorus)
3. someday I will fly and maybe then
you will take me aside and show me the bigger picture
but until Im with you Ill be here
with a heart that is true, and a soul thats resting on
your higher ways.
