I wish.

I wish I didn't desire any other..
I wish I didn't need to carry obligations not my own..
I wish I didn't have selfishness and pride at heart..
I wish I didn't need to earn a living..
I wish I didn't need to minister to people..
I wish I didn't temporarily stay on Earth..
I wish I didn't have plans of my own..
I wish I didn't have blind eyes..
I wish I didn't sin anymore..

Lord, all these wishes because I long for You,
and I wish I didn't have obstacles,
that my entire heart be Yours alone.
Not divided, nor tugged.
I can't wait to spend eternity with You, 
my heart hungers, my soul thirsts for.

I wish I never have to sin again,
that my worship be ever pure in Your sight.
Pleasing, sweet aroma for You.
I will not be content,
until the day no other face I behold but You.

But since I'm still a transient here,
let my life be an offered praise to You.
With Your strength, we battle my sin,
With Your power, we fight for your lost sheep.
I wish, when all these be done,
"Well done, my child." be Your response.
