I Wish

I wish I could tell you how I feel,
To touch your heart,
To whisper in your ear,
To tell you what I really feel,

I wish I could show you every day,
The love and the passion,
That longs to escape,
It’s hidden inside me,
It tries to come out,
Won’t someone open me up?
And let it run about?

I wish I could make you understand,
That I’m way different than you think I am,
That my heart is so deeply touched,
That I need you and your love,

I wish you would sit,
And listen to me,
Listen to my heart,
Listen to my plea,
For my soul it cries out,
For your love and attention,
Oh, I only wish you would only listen.

But no matter what,
If you never hear my voice,
If my questions are never answered,
If I never have a choice,
If I never walk on sunshine,
Never experience the rain,
No matter what,
I’ll be okay,

‘cause my heart is filled with Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God,
My life may not be perfect,
I know I’m surely not,

No matter what may happen,
I’ll always take a stand,
Whether you get it or you don’t,
I’m following God’s plan.
