Lyrics

VERSE 1

I wish that you loved me

The way that I loved you

I wish that you wanted me

As much as I wanted you

I wish you were excited about me

As much as I’m excited about you

I wish I was living on a pink cloud

Oh Lord am I wishing too much

For something I’ll never have

I wish I wouldn’t cry so much

About things that cannot change

I wish I wouldn’t pine away for things

That can never be

Lord help me to set my affections

Set them on things above

Lord help me to survive

In this world without all these earthly delights

Help me to live this life without the thing I dream about

Help me to stop spending my days with wishful thinking

If only in this life I have hope

I am of all men most miserable

Lord help me to set my affections on things above

And the joy that is set before me

INTERLUDE

I’ve got to strengthen my mind

Press on till I hit the mark

Of the prize of the high calling

I hope I make it to the end

Wishing for unrealistic things on earth

Today is the end of wishing

Vanity of vanity says the preacher

Lord help me to survive

In this world without all these earthly delights

Help me to live this life without the things I dream about

Help me to stop spending my days with wishful thinking

If only in this life I have hope

I am of all men most miserable

Lord help me to set my affection on things above

And the joy that is set before me

INTERLUDE

Things above, set my affection on things above
