I'm standing at the foot of this mountain 
Wishing so bad that I could touch that sky 
But in the time it takes to make my wish 
I never take a step and I never try 

I wish that I were closer to Jesus 
But not enough to get me out of bed 
For an early morning prayer before the 
Rushes of my life take me instead 

I'm past the wishing 
Past the wishing 
Past the wishing 

I'm gazing in these deep well waters 
Where the pennies of my life have all been cast 
I've decided I am going to save my money 
To do something that lasts 

You've shown me my man of Macedonia 
You're calling me further on 
And I'm tired of saying it's a nice idea 
I wish it could be done 

I don't wish that I could go I am going 
I don't wish that I could be I am being 
I don't wish that I could do it I am doing 
By the grace of God I am doing
