Lyrics:

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

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)

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

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)

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

(Your higher ways)
Resting on Your higher ways
(Your higher ways)
