This is a song I wrote for my sister and few years ago.  Here is part of her story that I told in another post:  My sister's story

I wish I had one more day,

I wish I had just one more day.

If someone had told me that this was the way;

I would have wished for just one more day.

The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away,

I wish I had just one more day.


Such short time on Earth, you had to live;

And in that time you had so much to give.

A mother, sister and a daughter,

A spirit filled with fun and laughter.

As sickness came to take you away,

I held tight to every day.


I wish I had one more day,

I wish I had just one more day.

If someone had told me that this was the way;

I would have wished for just one more day.

The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away,

I wish I had just one more day.


So many things I should have said,

Sitting there beside your bed.

The most important we covered,

The day you prayed and Jesus heard.

I knew then that you’d be okay,

But I keep wishing for one more day.



I wish I had one more day,

I wish I had just one more day.

If someone had told me that this was the way;

I would have wished for just one more day.

The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away,

I wish I had just one more day.


My plan would not have ended this way,

But I trust God and His will I pray.

His will be done now, and not my own,

To have you bowing before His throne.

I know the Father knows just what to do,

That still doesn’t stop me from missing you.


I wish I had one more day,

I wish I had just one more day.

If someone had told me that this was the way;

I would have wished for just one more day.

The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away,

I wish I had just one more day.


I know you’re in Heaven, and that’s okay;

I will see you there again someday.

The journey there may not have been as planned,

But I had to place you in the Savior’s hand.

He’ll take better care of you,

Than your dear old daddy could do.

Although I know you are safe and sound,

I still miss you being around.


I wish I had one more day,

I wish I had just one more day.

If someone had told me that this was the way;

I would have wished for just one more day.

The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away,

I wish I had just one more day.
