Why can't we be humble Like the good Lord said? He promised to exalt us But low is the way How man be so greedy When there's so much left? All things are God givenAnd they all have been blessed 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 how to help each one another And live in perfect peace If we'd just be humble Like the good Lord saidHe promised to exalt us But low is the way That's the way God planned it That's the way God wants it to be I hope you get this message When you won't others will You don't understand me But I love you still That's the way God planned it That's the way God wants it to be
