I Was Fixing To . . .

 

By Walt Perryman

Give myself to Jesus Christ with all my heart,
But I’ve been waiting for the right time to start!

Tell my amazing wife, Laura, how much I love you.
But I didn’t do it, but God knows I was fixing to.

Spend more time with my kids earlier in life
There’s so much I didn’t do that I was fixing to.

Here is something about fixing to, I want to say,
Never be a fixing to person and just do it today.
