Verse 1
C
My daughter tries to draw a butterfly
G/B
With her crayons and crooked lines
Am F G/B
And she's crying cause she just can't get it right
C
So I wrap her tiny hand in mine
G/B
To guide her with her heart's design
Am Bb G
And she smiles as her dreams take flight
F/A F G C/D
Perhaps that's how it is on this labyrinth road
F F/A G
I just need to let Him guide my soul
Chorus
C
God writes straight with crooked lines
F C
He takes the mess we make in life
G/Am D5 G G/B
Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
E7 Am
Hidden by the veil of time
F C
The wisdom of His love's design
D7sus2 Fsus2 CC/B
God writes straight with crooked lines
Verse 2
C
I've had days as dark as smoke
G/B
When it hurt too much to hope
Am FG
And it felt like the pain would never end
C
Searching for answers but finding jokes
G/B E7
Limping along the winding road
Am Bb G/D
Certain He left me all alone
F Dm7 Am
When it's hard to trust that there's a greater plan
Bb F/A G
Like a child I've got to just hold His hand
Chorus 2
C
God writes straight with crooked lines
F C
He takes the mess we make in life
G/Am D5 G G/B
Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
E7 Am
Hidden by the veil of time
F C
The wisdom of His love's design
D7sus2 Fsus2 CCsus4
God writes straight with crooked lines
Bridge
G F Dm7
It's hard to see the picture
G C/E C/D
When we've got our head to the ground
Bb C
But the vision is perfect
F G C G/B
From Heaven looking down
Em7 F G/B
There's a reason for every detour
Em/G AA
And every scar
Dm G F
His mercy has always been
D/F# G
Written in the stars
(Twinkle Twinkle Little Star tune here)

The wisdom of His love's design
