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       BRIDGE    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    Let the road ahead become unclear    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 the Father    Hiding His children in His love       BRIDGE    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       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
