I Wish 200

I Wish

 

Verse 1

I wish that you loved me 

The way that I loved you

I wish that you wanted me 

As much as I wanted you

I wish you were excited about me

As much as I’m excited about you

I wish I was living on a pink cloud

With love and romance everyday

 

Verse 2

Oh Lord am I wishing too much

For something I’ll never have

I wish I wouldn’t cry so much 

About things that cannot change

I wish I wouldn’t pine away for things 

That can never be

Lord help me to set my affections

Set them on things above

 

Chorus

Lord help me to survive 

In this world without all these earthly delights

Help me to live this life without the thing I dream about

Help me to stop spending my days with wishful thinking 

If only in this life I have hope

I am of all men most miserable

Lord help me to set my affections on things above

And the joy that is set before me

 

Verse 4

I’ve got to strengthen my mind

Press on till I hit the mark

Of the price of the high calling

I hope I make it to the end

Wishing for unrealistic things on earth

Is not the way to live

Today is the end of wishing

Vanity of vanity says the preacher

 

Chorus

Lord help me to survive 

In this world without all these earthly delights

Help me to live this life without the things I dream about

Help me to stop spending my days with wishful thinking 

If only in this life I have hope

I am of all men most miserable

Lord help me to set my affection on things above

And the joy that is set before me

 

 

CODA

Things above, set my affection on things above 4x
