I Wish...

I wish I didn't feel so helpless
I wish I didn't act so selfish
I wish I didn't wring my hands night and day
My hair was a little bit smoother
My jeans fit a little bit looser
And I always knew the right things to say
And I wish I wouldn't hide what's been going on inside
And I wish you wouldn't get scared and run away

I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I was there was a cure for cancer
I wish somebody had an answer
And all God's children, never got hurt
I wish Eve never bit that apple
You men never went to battle
And I didn't get so mad at the world
I wish I was more like Jesus
And could pick up all the pieces
And make a better life for my baby girl

I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

For everything I am wishing
I know God is up there is listening
So, I say my prayers when I go to bed
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Oh pray my wishes come true
Oh

I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I know wishes come true
I wish, I wish

I absolutely LOVE this song!! It captures exactly how I feel right now!! I do wish I was doing better on all the things that really matter ~talking, playing, loving on my children, being there for my friends, spending time with my husband, loving like Jesus, being kind to everyone I meet, praying more for others, sharing, giving, trusting, helping, encouraging, seeking the LORD in everything~ the list could go on and on!! I want to slow down, breathe, be in the moment, and enjoy all of the opportunities and blessings that God gives me everyday. To focus on the things that really matter most. I don't want life to just pass me by. *** It's like the theme of my life right now!! :) More like Jesus!!
