Verse 1
C
My daughter tries to draw a butterfly
G/B
With her crayons and crooked lines
AmFG/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
AmBbG
And she smiles as her dreams take flight
F/AFGC/D
Perhaps that's how it is on this labyrinth road
FF/AG
I just need to let Him guide my soul
Chorus
C
God writes straight with crooked lines
FC
He takes the mess we make in life
G/Am D5GG/B
Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
E7Am
Hidden by the veil of time
FC
The wisdom of His love's design
D7sus2Fsus2CC/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
AmFG
And it felt like the pain would never end
C
Searching for answers but finding jokes
G/BE7
Limping along the winding road
AmBbG/D
Certain He left me all alone
FDm7Am
When it's hard to trust that there's a greater plan
BbF/AG
Like a child I've got to just hold His hand
Chorus 2
C
God writes straight with crooked lines
FC
He takes the mess we make in life
G/Am D5GG/B
Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
E7Am
Hidden by the veil of time
FC
The wisdom of His love's design
D7sus2Fsus2CCsus4
God writes straight with crooked lines
Bridge
GFDm7
It's hard to see the picture
GC/EC/D
When we've got our head to the ground
BbC
But the vision is perfect
FGCG/B
From Heaven looking down
Em7FG/B
There's a reason for every detour
Em/GAA
And every scar
DmGF
His mercy has always been
D/F#G
Written in the stars
(Twinkle Twinkle Little Star tune here)

Last Chorus
C
God writes straight with crooked lines
FC
He takes the mess we make in life
G/Am D5GG/B
Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
E7Am
Hidden by the veil of time
FC
The wisdom of His love's design
D7sus2Fsus2CD
God writes straight with crooked lines
DmC/EFGCC
God writes straight with crooked lines
