[Verse 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Your higher ways (Your higher ways) teach me to trust You
Your higher ways (Your higher ways) are not like mine
Your higher ways (Your higher) are the ways of a Father
Hiding His children in His love (in His love)
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Your higher ways (Your higher ways) teach me to trust You
Your higher ways (Your higher ways) are not like mine
Your higher ways (Your higher) are the ways of a Father
Hiding His children in His love (in his love)

[Verse 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 that's resting on Your higher ways

[Outro]
(Your higher ways)
Resting on Your higher ways
(Your higher ways)
