Wishing Won’t Ever

Wishing Won’t Ever
(Jacob McGowen)

1st Verse:
I wish that someone would listen
I wish the temp wasn’t 93
I wish D.C. had conviction
That those do-nothings would do something
I wish I could eat whatever
And just sit on the couch all-day
But idle hands won’t make a living
And denial won’t defeat my pain

Chorus:
I wish that I had a car
I wish that I had a plane
To take me out of this life
That is so often mundane
And I could go on and on
About many things
But wishing won’t ever set me free

REPEAT 2X

2nd Verse:
I wish my heart would stop hurting
I wish the chaos would reach its end
I wish that there was no mourning
I wish that I could have hope again
I wish to see Heaven’s glory
And see Jesus with my own eyes
Yet, in this time of tribulation
I’ll cling to You, my Adonai
Who holds me close
And hears my cries

2nd Chorus:
I wish that I had a car
I wish that I had a plane
To take me out of this life
That is so often mundane
And I could go on and on
About many things
But wishing won’t ever set me free
My hope is in Christ, the King of Kings!

Bridge:
You lead me by a fire in darkness
You guide me by a cloud at day
You give me love and grant me mercy
Your goodness always stays the same

REPEAT 2ND CHORUS
