The Collingsworth Family's song 'Your Ways Are Higher Than Mine' is a worship ballad about trusting God's plan when life doesn't go as expected. The lyrics express the tension between human desires for quick solutions and God's higher perspective, which often involves growth through difficulty. The singer acknowledges confusion and doubt but chooses to trust God's work, will, and timing. The song echoes the biblical theme from Isaiah 55:9 that God's ways are higher than ours, encouraging faith during hard seasons.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

It's not what I prayed for

It's not what I wanted

It's not something I understand

My circumstances seem so confusing

I'm placing it all in Your hands


Your ways are higher than mine

I want mountains to move

You want me to climb

So I'm gonna trust Your work, Your will, and Your time

Your ways are higher than mine


One day I'm sure

I will look back and marvel

At how You knew best all along

You see from Heaven

You know it's the hard times

That make my face steady and strong


Your ways are higher than mine

I want mountains to move

You want me to climb

So I'm gonna trust Your work, Your will, and Your time

Your ways are higher than mine


When I start to doubt, help me believe

Somewhere, so far above me


Your ways are higher than mine

I want mountains to move

You want me to climb

So I'm gonna trust Your work, Your will, and Your time

Oh

Your ways are so much higher than mine

Your ways are higher than mine
