God's Ways Are Higher Than Our Ways

Lord, your ways are so much higher than anyone can know,
We humans try to understand how You could love us so.
We see your hand of mercy among the sons of men,
Redeeming them and saving them again and yet again.

You know things that we don't know, You work in wondrous ways,
May we never thwart your plans, but may always give you praise.
Just help us be obedient and do as You desire,
And fill us with your Spirit to rekindle holy fire.

Let's submit our wills to yours, let not our hearts grow cold,
Just help us bow before You as the prophets did of old.
As we rekindle dying fires and light the flame of love,
May the light you give help others to know their King above.

So gracious God of mercy, help us to find our rightful place.
May we have ears to hear You as you teach us truth and grace.
Let mercy flow from hearts of love to everyone we meet,
That they be blessed and sanctified and bow down at your feet.

The earth is yours the heaven's yours; we belong to You,
So help us, our great King and Lord, to know just what to do.
When we feel sad and mortified seeing evil men
Help us remember You're in charge, and help us shout "Amen."

So be it Lord, we leave all within your higher plan
That we might live within your sphere of love with God and man.
Though wars and famines plague us, we know You're always there,
Your ways are much above our ways; we're safe within Your care.
