Lyrics
Why can't we be humble
Like the good Lord said?
He promised to exalt us
But long is the wait
Why men be so greedy
When there's so much left?
All things God given
And they all have been blessed
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
(Ooh)
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
(Ooh)
Let not your hearts be troubled
Let moaning and sobbing cease
Learn how to help one another
And live in perfect peace
If we'd all just be humble
Like the good lord said
He promised to exalt us
But long is the wait
(That's the way God planned it)
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah he wants it to be
You got to believe me
(That's the way God planned it)
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
I hope you get this message
Where you won't others will
You may not understand me
But Billy we love you still
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Yeah you got to believe me
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
(Oh he said to believe)
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Yeah
(Oh you got to believe)
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Yeah
That's the way my God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Yeah yeah yeah!
That's the way God planned it
That's the way my God wants it to be
That's the way, that's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Hey yeah
