Standard (EADGBE)

1. 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 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 I’m with you I’ll be here

with a heart that is true, and a soul thats resting on

your higher ways.
