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 1

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

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

Pre Chorus 2

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

Tag

Take me down the long way
If the long way leads to You
