That's The Way God Planned It

That's The Way God Planned It - Billy Preston

Why can't we be humble

Like the good Lord say

He promised to exalt us

But love is the way

How men be so greedy

When there's so much left

All things are God given

And they all have been blessed

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

Let not your heart be troubled

Let mourning sobbing cease

Learn to help one another

And live in perfect peace

If we'd just be humble

Like the good Lord say yeah

He promised to exalt us

But love is the way

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

You better believe me

(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 don't understand me

But I'll love you still

That's the way 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 God wants it to be

You better believe me

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

That's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to be

Hey

Yeah yeah yeah
