That's the Way God Planned It Lyrics

How men be so greedy
When there's so much left?
All things are God-given
And they all have been blessedWhy can't we be humble
Like the good Lord say?
He promised to exalt us
But love is the wayThat's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Oh, that's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to beLet not your heart be troubled
Let mourning, sobbing cease
Learn to love your brothers and
And live in perfect peaceWhy can't we be humble
Like my Lord say?
He promised to exalt us
But love is the wayThat's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Yeah, that's the way God planned it

That's the way God wants it to beOh, why can't we be humble
Like my Lord said, y'all?
God's gonna exalt us all
But love is the wayYeah, that's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Ya better believe me
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, ya-heyWhy don't you believe me?

Love one anotherWhoa, man

Before we can have peace, y'all
