Why can't we be humble
Like the good lord say
He promised to exault us
But no-one is away

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, be
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, 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 humbler
Like the good lord say
He promised to exault us
But love is the way

That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be
You better believe me
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, 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, be
