I Wish You Well
When glory days turn to stormy nights,
You must have been so petrified.
You didn’t have a reason to survive,
Or trust in me.
Now, I’m not ashamed to say I cried for you,
And I’m not ashamed to say I bled.
Even in your darkest hour,
I held your hand and shed your tears.
Through your spirit child, I’ve heard
That we reap what we sow.
And to turn the other cheek and let it slide
Is one thing.
But to turn the other cheek with a smile
Is a task few men can do.
Lord, I know the Bible says that vengeance is mine,
But I hope you don’t mind if I lend you some of mine.
Oh, I wish you well, I truly want to see you shine.
I pray that you’ll be alright.
Through my love and faith in my heavenly Father,
The light of the world, my redeemer,
I truly wish you well.
