[Am] [G] [C] [D]
[Am] [D] [G] [C]
If [G] God wanted it that way, [D] Daniel would have never [G] known the [Bm] lion's den,
[G] And Joseph would have the throne without [C] the prison.
[D]
David would [Am] have never known [D] Saul's jealousy,
And Job would have never [Am] lost his family.
[G] [C] Stephen would have never [D] been stoned,
[Am] And the meetings of Paul would have never [D] been known.
[G] But God wanted it that way, [C] God wanted it that way,
Every [Am] trial, [D] every test was [G] only [D] [G] for the [D] best.
[G] It was always in His plan, though [C] we [Am] may not understand,
As the potter mows [D] the clay, [Am] God just [D] wanted it [G] that way.
[C] If [G] God wanted it that way, no [D] one would have ever [G] known the trail of blood,
And Tyndale would have the word of [C] God completed.
[D] [Am] Preachers would have never [D] heard their children cry,
As they walked along [Am] to that stake to die.
[C] Nero would have never [D] had the throne,
[Am] Colosseums of Rome would have never [D] been known.
But [G] God wanted it that way, [C] God wanted it that way,
Every [Am]
trial, [D] every test was only [G] for the [D] best.
It [G] was always in His plan, [C] though we [Am] may not understand,
As the [Em] potter mows [D] the clay, God [Am] just [D] wanted it [G] that way.
[C] In [G] these lives we live down here,
Sunshine [D] will always [G] know the rain to fall,
And each day it bring us joy [B] as [C] well as sorrow.
[D] Trials [Am] will always come [D] from day to day,
And heartache may cross [Am] our path along the way,
[C] But He holds our lives [D] in His hands,
[Am] And our hopes and our tears He will always [G] understand.
[D]
[G] But God wanted it that way, [C] God wanted it that way,
[Am] Every trial, [D] every test was only [G] for the [D] best.
It [G] was always in His plan, [C] though we may [Am] not understand,
As the [Em] potter mows [D] the clay, [G] [Am] God just [D] wanted it [G] that way.
It was always in His plan, though [C] we may not [Am] understand,
As the potter [D] mows the [G] clay, God [Am] just [D] wanted it [G] that way.
[Am] As the [Em] potter mows [G] the [E] clay, [D] [Am] God just wanted [D] it [G] that way.
[Am] [D] [G] That way.
