when I was just a little girl upon my mama's knee,
she told me all about the lord and she taught me to believe.
she said our lord is wonderful, he's thoughtful and he's kind.
he'll call us all to heaven, when he thinks it's our time.
she said when you feel troubled, get down upon your knees
just sing this song to Jesus and he'll know you believe.

chorus

it's all up to you lord, please help me understand
it's all up to you lord, I know you have a plan.
my troubles I lay in your hand, my worries are relived
it's all up to you lord, you know I do believe.

2nd. verse

now that I am older and mama's gone away,
I think about her all the time, I miss her more each day.
but when my mind is troubled, I still know how to pray.
I just get know on my knees ,and this is what I say.

chorus

it's all up to you lord, please help me understand
it's all up to you lord, I know you have a plan.
my troubles I lay in your hand, my worries are relived
it's all up to you lord, you know I do believe.

3rd. verse

and when my life is over and it's my time to go away.
I'll meet my mama in heaven, I'll have my judgement day.
and when I walk thru those pearly gates the lord will hear me say.
it was all up to you lord I knew you'd have your way.

chorus

it was all up to you lord, you helped me understand.
it was all up to you lord ,now I know your plan.
my troubles I laid in your hands ,my worries you relived
it was all up to you ,you know I still believe.
