WISHED A WISH

Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)



WISHED A WISH

I wished a wish I wish I didn't wish
A day at a time a time of the day
Dish out what you can't take don't dish
The way is the way if you pray to pray

I wished a wish I wish I didn't wish
Time rolls on come let's redeem the time
From a couple of fish, thousands eat fish
Life is a poem, never seems to rhyme

I wished a wish I wish I didn't wish
Sins captive that never captures sin
Cry over milk, it becomes childish
Oh Lord, fill me here once again

I wished a wish I wish I didn't wish
The Cross before me, I'm before the Cross
Lord hide me like Jonah in a mighty fish
So I speak the Word, to redeem the loss

I wished a wish I wish I didn't wish
Wishes aren't prayer, a wish you can't pray
Trust never in the dreams that you wish
For I place trust in You today and every day
Amen
