Intro:  D5 
 
G5                   E5         D5 
If I could only fly I'd go up 
                G5                    C5 C5              A5     D5  
And look down from the sky so I could see the bigger picture 
G5                            E5                        D5 
And Lord if I could sit with you at your feet 
G5                      C5   C5             A5             D5 
For an hour or two, I'm sure I'd ask too many questions 
                       C5  C5              D5  G5 
Cause there's so much going on down here, 
G5                                             C5 
That I must confess I just don't understand, 
     D5 
I don't understand 
 

                G5 
But I have prayed and at your feet my whole life 
G5              B5       C5                 D5          E5 
Has been laid, so I won't worry I won't be afraid  
                 C5                     A5       G5 
Cause my soul is resting on your higher ways 
                                        B5 
So let the road ahead become unclear, 
    C5                    D5                     E5 
Oh I am your so what have I to fear 
         C5                     A5             G5 
If my soul is resting on your higher ways 
 

        Eb5          D5       G5 
Your higher ways teach me to trust you 
         Eb5        D5              G5   A5    G5 
Your higher ways are not like mine 
         E5                         B5 
Your higher ways are the ways of a father, 
C5                         A5                 D5      G5 
Hiding           his children in his love 
 

G5                                                              B5 
So let it rain and if my eyes grow dim with tears and of pain 
         C5                        D5  D5            E5 
This hope I have will not be washed away 
                  C5                    A5                     G5 
Cause my soul is resting on your higher ways 
 

        G5              E5            D5 
Someday I will fly and maybe then  
             D5          C5    C5               A5           D5   
You will take me aside          and show me the bigger picture 
           G5            E5      D5 
But until I'm with you I'll be here 
            G5                 C5       C5 
With a heart that is true,  
          A5                      D5            G5 
And a soul that?s resting on your higher ways
