The Long Way
by Natalie Layne

Album: All Joy

Verse 1
I'm the kind of heart that likes to know right where I'm going
I would take the highway over dirt roads any day
I would rather speed things up than learn to trust the process
Tell me yes or tell me no, just don't tell me to wait

Pre-Chorus
But You see more than I can see
You've got good plans for me
So I'm surrendering

Chorus
Take me down the long way if that's where I'm meant to be
Take me down the back roads, God, You know what's best for me
You're with me every moment, even the ones I wouldn't choose
Take me down the long way if the long way leads to You

Verse 2
I have seen Your faithfulness in every mile so far
All that I have needed, You've provided from the start
Your voice is always gentle and Your love is evergreen
Leading me to a kindness that I never would have seen

Chorus
So take me down the long way if that's where I'm meant to be
Take me down the back roads, God, You know what's best for me
You're with me every moment, even the ones I wouldn't choose
Take me down the long way if the long way leads to You
If the long way leads to You

Bridge
You see more than I can see
You've got good plans for me
They're better than I dreamed
So I'm Yours and I believe

Chorus
You'll take me down the long way if that's where I'm meant to be
You'll take me down the back roads, God, You know what's best for me
You're with me every moment, even the ones I wouldn't choose
Take me down the long way if the long way leads to You
Take me down the long way if the long way leads to You
If the long way leads to You
