If It Was Up To Me

Yeah, I like it easy, but that's not how it's been

I'm at that part of the movie when the good guy might not win

Did I take a wrong turn? Why do You have me here?

I want that happy ending, not this one where I'm in tears

And yeah, we both know

If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads

No wounds, no blisters on my soul

Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me

If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride

But I'd miss the grace that changed my life

Thank God, I'm not the one in charge of things

I'd never know how good Your plans could be

If it was up to me

If it was up to me, I'd never taste the grace, that meets me where I am

Or meet the God who came and picked me up and taught me how to stand

He always has a purpose through the joy and suffering

I'd be crazy not to trust Him with everything

If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads

No wounds, no blisters on my soul

Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me

If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride

But I'd miss the grace that changed my life

Thank God, I'm not the one in charge of things

I'd never know how good Your plans could be

If it was up to me

If it was up to me

Your ways are higher

Your ways are higher

You know what You're doing with me

Your ways are higher

Your ways are higher

Put me where You want me to be

Yeah, we both known

If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads

No wounds, no blisters on my soul

Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me (no, it wouldn't come for me)

If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride

But I'd miss the grace that changed my life

Thank God, I'm not the one in charge of things

I'd never know how good Your plans could be

If it was up to me

Yeah, if it was up to me (oh)

If it was up to me
