Billy Preston - That's the Way God Planned It, Parts 1 & 2 lyrics

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 That's the way God planned it That's the way God wants it to be
