Ben Fuller - If It Was Up To Me Lyrics



Ben Fuller - If It Was Up To Me Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Carrie Underwood ]

Yeah, I like it easy
+
But that's not how it's been
+
I'm at that part of the movie when the good guy might not win
+
Did I take a wrong turn?
+
Why do You have me here?
+
I want that happy ending
+
Not this one where I'm in tears
+
And yeah, we both know
+
If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads
+
No wounds, no blisters on my soul
+
Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me
+
If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride
+
But I'd miss the grace that changed my life
+
Thank God I'm not the one in charge of things
+
I'd never know how good Your plans could be
+
If it was up to me
+
If it was up to me, I'd never taste the grace
+
That meets me where I am
+
Or meet the God who came and picked me up
+
And taught me how to stand
+
He always has a purpose
+
Through the joy and suffering
+
I'd be crazy not to trust Him with everything
+
If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads
+
No wounds, no blisters on my soul
+
Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me
+
If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride
+
But I'd miss the grace that changed my life
+
Thank God I'm not the one in charge of things
+
I'd never know how good Your plans could be
+
If it was up to me
+
If it was up to me
+
Your ways are higher
+
Your ways are higher
+
You know what You're doing with me
+
Your ways are higher
+
Your ways are higher
+
Put me where You want me to be
+
Yeah
+
We both know
+
If it was up to me, there'd be no gravel roads
+
No wounds, no blisters on my soul
+
Pain might come, but it wouldn't come for me
+
(No, it wouldn't come for me)
+
If it was up to me, I'd take the easy ride
+
But I'd miss the grace that changed my life
+
Thank God I'm not the one in charge of things
+
I'd never know how good Your plans could be
+
If it was up to me
+
Yeah
+
If it was up to me (yeah)
+
If it was up to me

(Show video at the top of the page)


Provident Label Group artist and songwriter Ben Fuller releases a new song today featuring 8-time Grammy Award winner Carrie Underwood. Fuller's song "If It Was Up To Me" features Underwood on this not-to-be-missed powerful duet. Listen to the song now and watch the studio visualizer below.

"When I wrote this song, I kept thinking about how difficult life can be and that if I was in control, and it was up to me, I'd make it a lot easier on myself - but I'd never know then how good God's plans can be," shares Ben Fuller. "I'm so grateful Carrie wanted to share her love for Jesus on a song with me. She was so kind and calm when we were in the studio. And I'm pretty sure I smiled almost as big as God did when she stepped up to the mic that day!"

"Ben is such a talented singer and songwriter and I love they joy he brings to singing about his faith, which we have in common," says Underwood. "I was honored when he asked me to sing with him on 'If It Was Up To Me,' and I love how our voices blend on such a positive and uplifting song."
