WISH I COULD COUNT THE TIMES

by Stan C. Countz

V1
How many times have I stumbled at night?
How many times have I wondered why?
How many times have I run from the light?
I wish I could count the times…

V2
How many times have I lost my way?
How many times have I forgotten to pray?
How many times have I disobeyed?
More than the stars in the sky…

CHORUS
I wish I could count the times
You came through in that final hour
If I’d have only seen the signs
Of your majesty and power
Wish I could count the times
You proved your word was true
Wish I could count the times
You were there to see me through

BRIDGE
I always tried to stay inside the lines
Hoped and prayed one day the sun would shine
My life had no reason or rhyme
But a better friend I could never find
A friend that gives and cares
That’s always good and kind
That never gives in or despairs
That’s there in a pinch or a bind

CHORUS / OUTRO
I wish I could count the times
You came through in that final hour
If I’d have only seen the signs
Of your majesty and power
Wish I could count the times
You proved your word was true
Wish I could count the times
You were there to see me through
