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
