I Wish
Nicole C. Mullen's song "I Wish" expresses a heartfelt desire for a loved one's well-being, but ultimately emphasizes that the greatest wish is for them to love God completely. The lyrics acknowledge human limitations in fixing brokenness or restoring innocence, yet point to the surpassing importance of loving the Lord with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength. The song is a gentle, reflective encouragement to prioritize a wholehearted devotion to God above all else, echoing the greatest commandment.
I wish I could paint your world so beautiful
And I wish I could make it right
But of all the things I could ever want for you
I wish this more than life
Love the Lord with all your heart
With all your soul, your mind and strength
Love the Lord with all your heart
With all your soul, your mind and strength
If I could give you back your innocence
And if I could turn back time
If I could heal you of all the broken promises
Still the greatest thing in life
Is love the Lord with all your heart
With all your soul, your mind and strength
Love the Lord with all your heart
With all your soul, your mind and strength
Love the Lord with all your heart
With all your soul, your mind and strength
Love the Lord with all your heart
With all your soul, your mind and strength
Your heart and soul, your mind and strength
Your heart and soul, your mind and strength
