G             Em         D 
1.      If I could only fly I’d go up  
G            C   G/B 
and look down from the sky  
Am7             D  
so I could see the bigger picture 
G                 Em          D  
and lord if I could sit with you at your feet 
G      C  G/B            Am7          D  
for an hour or two, I’m sure I’d ask too many questions 
C  G/B         Am7  D/F   
cause there’s so much going on down here,  
G7sus                      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 
Bm       C            D           Em   
has been laid, so I won’t worry I won’t be afraid 
C               Cm              G 
cause my soul is resting on your higher ways. 
G                          Bm  
So let the road ahead become unclear, 
C             D               Em 
oh I am yours so what have I to fear 
C               Cm             G 
If my soul is resting on your higher ways. 
Ebmaj7 Dm7   G   
Chorus:  Your Higher ways teach me to trust you 
Ebmaj7  Dm7      G   Am7 G/B 
Your higher ways are not like mine 
Em                  Bm  
Your higher ways are the ways of a father, 
Bb                         Am    D   G 
hiding his children in his love.
