If I Had A Ladder
By: BJ Stewart
Key:
Verse 1:
If I had a ladder that reached up to the sky
I would climb up to You and sit right by Your side
I d ask You every question that came to my mind, that s right
If I had wings for flying, I d go up in the air
I d soar above the heavens so I could see the view from way up there
I d ask You how can You keep the world in motion and still hear my prayer
And there s so many things I d like to see,
to satisfy my curiosity
Was it harder to form the mountains and the seas
than it is to put up with me?
Chorus:
Your ways are higher, Your thoughts are higher,
Your wisdom is higher than I can think
Your love is stronger, Your grace is greater
Than all the things that make sense to me
You can t be explained, and every time I try to figure You out
There You go blowing me away again
Verse 2:
You breathe Your breath into me and then You take my breath away
You d think I would be speechless, but still I find something to say
Why must I try and complicate that which can t be explained
Still I try to reason it all, refusing to believe in miracles
When You are supernatural, and that s all I really need to know
(chorus)
Bridge:
You separated light from darkness, You created the sky
You made dry land, You made the seas, and it all was good
Everything was in its place as You saw fit for it to be
Your handiwork displays Your majesty
And still You delight in me
(soft)
Your ways are higher, Your thoughts are higher,
Your wisdom is higher than I can think
Your love is stronger, Your grace is greater
Than all the things that make sense to me
