"If It Was Up To Me" lyrics

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
Cause

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 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
(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
(Up to me)

Yeah
If it was up to me
(Yeah)
If it was up to me
