Ben Fuller & Carrie Underwood If It Was Up To Me
[Verse 1: Ben Fuller]
Yeah, I like it easy
But that's not how it's been
I'm at that part of the movie when the good guy might not win
Did I take a wrong turn?
Why do You have me here?
I want that happy ending
Not this one where I'm in tears
And yeah, we both know
[Chorus: Ben Fuller]
If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads
No wounds, no blisters on my soul
Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me
If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride
But I'd miss the grace that changed my life
Thank God I'm not the one in charge of things
I'd never know how good Your plans could bе
If it was up to me
[Verse 2: Carrie Underwood, Both]
If it was up to me, I'd nevеr taste the grace
That meets me where I am
Or meet the God who came and picked me up
And taught me how to stand
He always has a purpose
Through the joy and suffering
I'd be crazy not to trust Him with everything
[Chorus: Both]
If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads
No wounds, no blisters on my soul
Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me
If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride
But I'd miss the grace that changed my life
Thank God I'm not the one in charge of things
I'd never know how good Your plans could be
If it was up to me
If it was up to me
[Bridge: Both]
Your ways are higher
Your ways are higher
You know what You're doing with me
Your ways are higher
Your ways are higher
Put me where You want me to be
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Yeah
We both know
[Chorus: Both, Ben Fuller, Carrie Underwood]
If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads
No wounds, no blisters on my soul
Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me
(No, it wouldn't come for me)
If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride
But I'd miss the grace that changed my life
Thank God I'm not the one in charge of things
I'd never know how good Your plans could be
If it was up to me
[Outro: Ben Fuller, Both, Carrie Underwood]
Yeah
If it was up to me (Yeah)
If it was up to me
