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
