I Wish I Could

I wish I could stop loving you,
But I can’t because God says to.
I wish that I could stop thinking of you,
But I won’t be disobedient to my Father.
I wish that I had no desire to bear
Your sons and daughters,
But I do because God wants me to.
I wish I never met you,
But God has reason.
I wish I never let you in my life,
But God wants me to be your wife.
I wish I could stop doing all of this,
But I know that this is the Father’s wish.
I wish you would respond to his call,
That’s all.
I wish that you would do His wish,
So maybe one day I won’t regret
Feeling like this.
