[Verse 1]
Come and follow me, you know the master said
Don't wait till tomorrow, oh you may be dead
I was you and I wanted to play
Said I'd wait just one more day
[Hook 1]
Don't you know I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Said I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
[Verse 2]
And one morning I felt the pain
Felt like death done sung my name
Started to remble deep down inside yeah
And I felt the fear of the swelling tide
[Hook 1]
[Verse 3]
So many doctors stood around my bed
One walked away, oh he shook his head
Said your fever 102
Said I don't beliver her, I can pull you through
[Hook 1]
[Verse 4]
Then the fever rose to 103
The doctor walked around and took a look at me
Oh it rose to 104
He said Oh death is knocking at your door
Oh it rose to 105
Said I don't belive that you will survive
[Hook 2]
Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
(Wish I had answered)
Don't you know I wished
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
Wish I Had Answered
