Hi, Wade,
No, it never crossed my mind to submit WILEY, since it is already in the Cooper Book. However, not that you mention it, it would be nice to be able to sing it regardless of which book we were using. Since I did not think of it, though, I would not consider submitting it now -- I have already submitted several songs and would not be comfortable submitting more.
I appreciate that you think it should be more widely sung. I have been surprised how well it has been received. The compilers of The Good Old Songs, Second Volume, asked to use it, to which I agreed. That new book is now available.
