Verse 1
I’ve stood in the wreckage of a plan gone wrong
Prayed for an answer, just got silence long
Tried to read the road by a flickering light
But the map kept fading every night
They say heaven’s high and I know that’s true
But it’s hard to see God when you’re down to the screws
I asked Him why, but the sky stayed quiet
Just a still small voice saying don’t lose sight
Chorus
His ways are higher than mine
His thoughts don’t run my line
What I can’t see, He’s already done
Working the dark into the rising sun
I don’t have to understand the signs
I just gotta trust He’s on time
Yeah His ways are higher
Higher than mine
Verse 2
Some things hurt more than words can say
Some prayers don’t get answered the way you pray
I’ve seen good men bend, I’ve seen strong ones fall
Seen Sunday faith crack by Tuesday’s wall
But I’ve never seen Him waste a tear
Never saw Him drop a year
Every scar’s a lesson in disguise
Even when it feels like goodbye
Chorus
His ways are higher than mine
His thoughts don’t run my line
What I call lost, He calls aligned
Working all things down the line
I don’t have to read every sign
I just gotta trust His design
Yeah His ways are higher
Higher than mine
Bridge
I walk by faith, not by sight
Hold on through the long dark night
Secrets belong to Him alone
But He’s never left me on my own
If He brought me this far through fire and rain
I won’t quit just because I’m in pain
Chorus (half-time, gospel feel)
His ways are higher than mine
Even when the road’s unkind
All things working for the good
Just like He said they would
I don’t need the whole outline
I just need His hand in mine
Yeah His ways are higher
Higher than mine
Outro
So I’ll lay my questions at the foot of grace
Trust the God who knows my place
When I can’t see past today’s hard grind
I’ll remember His ways are higher than mine
