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
