Intro:  D

G                   Em         D
If I could only fly I'd go up
                G                    C C/B              Am     D 
And look down from the sky so I could see the bigger picture
G                            Em                        D
And Lord if I could sit with you at your feet
G                      C   C/B             Am             D
For an hour or two, I'm sure I'd ask too many questions
                       C  C/B              D  G
Cause there's so much going on down here,
G                                             Cmaj7
That I must confess I just don't understand,
     D
I don't understand



                G
But I have prayed and at your feet my whole life
G              Bm       C                 D          Em
Has been laid, so I won't worry I won't be afraid 
                 C                     Am       G2
Cause my soul is resting on your higher ways
                                        B2
So let the road ahead become unclear,
    C                    D                     Em
Oh I am your so what have I to fear
         C                     Am/C             G
If my soul is resting on your higher ways



        Eb          D       G
Your higher ways teach me to trust you
         Eb        D              G   A    G
Your higher ways are not like mine
         Em7                         Bm
Your higher ways are the ways of a father,
C                         Am                 D      G
Hiding           his children in his love


G                                                              Bm
So let it rain and if my eyes grow dim with tears and of pain
         C                        Dsus  D            Em
This hope I have will not be washed away
                  C                    A                     G
Cause my soul is resting on your higher ways



        G2              Em11            D2
Someday I will fly and maybe then 
             Dsus          C2    C/B               Am           D  
You will take me aside          and show me the bigger picture
           G2            Em11      D/F#
But until I'm with you I'll be here
            G                 C       C/B
With a heart that is true, 
          Am7                      D            G2
And a soul that’s resting on your higher ways
