MARIAH CAREY LYRICS - I Wish You Well

"I Wish You Well"



This goes out to you and you and you

You know who you are



Hmm hmm hmm

When glory days turn to stormy nights

You must have been so petrified

Didn't you, didn't you feel so cold

You against the world in a losing fight

Captive of your demons inside



So you sought an enemy

(I'm not your enemy. He lives in you, you know it's true)

Like times before to mock ignorantly

(But the Lord said love, love your enemy so just...)

Take heed to the Word it's time

Check Proverbs 19:29

Don't cry



I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well



I truly wanted solidarity

Still wearing my blinders back then

(So much I didn't see)

I weep for what I dreamed we all could be

I'll keep you in prayer till the end



Still bruised, still walk on eggshells

Same frightened child, hide to protect myself

(Can't believe I still need to protect myself from you)

But you can't manipulate me like before

Examine first John chapter 4 verse 4



And

I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well



Be strong in the Lord and power of His might



If my shows of gratitude are miniscule

Inside your mind, sorry

(I'm so sorry, please forgive me)

There's only so much I can do I love you and did all that I could



Maybe when you're cursing me

You don't feel so incomplete

But we've all made mistakes

Felt the guilt and self-hate



I know you've been there for me plenty

Maybe still got love for me

But let him without sin cast the first stone brethren

But who remains standing then

Not you not I see Phillipians 4:9

(Put it into practice and the God of Peace will be with you)



So

I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well



(He who the Son sets free is free indeed)

No weapon formed against me shall prosper

Surely God is my salvation

I will trust and not be afraid

The Lord, the Lord is my salvation

I will trust in Him

Yes, I know that I know that I know that I know



But I have had God's help to this very day

And so I stand here and testify

To small and great alike

So the more you curse me

The more you're blessing me

The Word said it

Love your enemies



Do good to those who curse you

Pray for those who mistreat you

Psalms 129:2

They have greatly oppressed me from my youth

But they have not gained victory over me

(In Jesus' name)



I wish you well



He that keeps his mind state on the Lord

He will keep them in perfect peace
