Wishful Thinking
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.
Lord is it possible
To get this far
And just now understand
Who You are
I’m feeling foolish
Yet relieved as well
‘Cause what I bought before
I just can't sell
But now
My eyes are open wide
If this is wrong
I don't wanna be right
Could it be that on my worst day
How You love me still will not change
What if it's really not about what I do but what You did
Oh what if
This ain't wishful thinking it's just how it is
This ain't wishful thinking it's just how it is
Well I guess I’m better late
Than not at all
Or did you plan it this way
All along
‘Cause without suffering
Grace is hard to see
So maybe I'm right where
I’m supposed to be
And now
I’m seeing You so differently
All I can say is finally
And now
My eyes are open wide
If this is wrong Lord don’t make me
Don’t You make me right
Now I know that on my worst day
The way You love me it ain’t ever gonna change
What if it's never really been about what I do but what You did
Oh yes it is
This ain't wishful thinking it's just how it is
This ain't wishful thinking it's just how it is
