I Wish You Well

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This goes out to you and you

And you know who you are

When glory days turn to stormy nights

You must have been so petrified

(Didn't ya, didn't ya feel so cold?)

You against the world in a losing fight

(A losing fight)

Captive of your demons inside

So you sought an enemy

(I'm not your enemy)

Like times before to mock ignorantly

(He lives in you, you know it's true)

(But the Lord said: Love your enemy; so just)

Take heed to the Word, it's time

Check Proverbs 19:29

Don't cry

I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well

I truly wanted solidarity

Still wearing my blinders back then

(So much I didn't see)

I weep for what I've dreamed we all could be

(And so I still weep, I still weep, I still weep)

I'll keep you in prayer till the end

(Oh, still bruised)

Still bruised, still walk on eggshells

Same frightened child, hide to protect myself

(Can't believe I still need to protect myself from you)

But you can't manipulate me like before

Examine first John chapter 4 verse 4

And I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well

(Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might)

If my shows of gratitude

Are miniscule inside your mind, sorry

(I am so sorry, please, forgive me)

There's only so much I can do

I love you and did all that I could

(I did all that I could)

Maybe when you're cursing me

You don't feel so incomplete

But we've all made mistakes

Felt the guilt and self-hate

I know you've been there for me plenty

Maybe still got love for me

But let him without sin

Cast the first stone brethren

But who remains standing then

Not you not I

See Phillipians 4:9

(Put it into practice and the God of Peace will be with you)

So I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well

(He, who the Son sets free, is free indeed)

No weapon formed against me shall prosper

(Every time I'm afraid, I will trust in the Lord)

Surely God is my salvation

I will trust and not be afraid

The Lord, the Lord is my salvation

I will trust in Him, yes

I know that I know that I know that I know that I know that I know

But I have had God's help to this very day

And so I stand here and testify to small and great alike

So the more you curse me, the more you're blessing me

The Word said it: Love your enemies

Do good to those who curse you

Pray for those who mistreat you

Psalms 129:2

They have greatly oppressed me from my youth

But they have not gained victory over me

(In Jesus' name... I wish you well)

(He that keeps his mind state on the Lord, He will keep them in perfect peace)
