Past the Wishing

I’m standing at the foot of this mountain

Wishing so bad that

I could touch that sky

But in the time it takes to make my wish

I never take a step and

I never try

I wish that

I were closer to

Jesus But not enough to get me out of bed

For an early morning prayer before the

Rushes of my life take me instead

I'm past the wishing

Past the wishing

Past the wishing

I'm gazing in these deep well waters

Where the pennies of my life have all been cast

I’ve decided

I am going to save my money

To do something that lasts

You've shown me my man of

Macedonia

You're calling me further on

And I'm tired of saying it's a nice idea

I wish it could be done

I don't wish that

I could go

I am going

I don't wish that

I could be

I am being

I don't wish that

I could do it

I am doing

By the grace of

God I am doing
