Sara Groves - Past The Wishing Lyrics






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

    One Greatest song I enjoy so much . Thank you for coming to Celebration Church . I wear cd out though years wish only know we're get another one. Every day I get up and start day this song and others Everyday Miracles. Keep me going strong though my days job . Thank you one greatest singer and song writer. Londa Lundstroms was right help keep moving in right direction. Still enjoy so still today.

    This song is so convicting to me -- as I lay around the house, horrifically unemployed, I do an awful lot of wishing. It actually becomes a habit -- and a bad one at that. Lord, help me out of this pit!
