That's the way god planned it
Joyful noiseLike the good lord said
He promised to exalt us
And show us they way
Why are we 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
Oh, you gotta believe
Let not your heart be troubled
Let all your suffering cease
We gotta learn how to help one another
And live in perfect peace
If we'd be humble
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 may not 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
