|
For just a moment I wish I could have been there |
|
to see your first step |
|
to hear your very first word |
|
tell me did you ever fall and scrape your knee |
|
did you know your wounds would one day heal the world |
|
For just one moment I wish I could have seen you growing, |
|
learning the ways of a capenter's son |
|
just a little boy gazing at the stars |
|
did you remember creating every one |
|
if you passed by would I see a child or a king |
|
or would i have known |
|
Chorus: |
|
I wish I could have been there |
|
My only wish is to see you face to face |
|
I wish I could have been there |
|
just to see you Jesus face to face |
|
For just one moment I wish I could have been there |
|
when you left your footprints upon the waves |
|
to walk along beside you never look away |
|
just your whisper and the wind and sea obey |
|
to see you feed the people |
|
to feel the healing in your touch |
|
I wish I could have been there |
|
Chorus |
|
To hear you pray in the garden alone |
|
laying down your will with each tear |
|
to see you walk that lonely road |
|
willing to die for me |
|
and in that |
|
moment I know I should have been there |
|
you took my cross and gave your life |
|
But you live again |
|
I wish I could have been there |
|
I wish that I could have seen you rise again |
|
I wish I could have been there |
|
My only wish is to see you face to face |
|
someday i'll be there |
|
I'm gonna be there |
|
I'll see your face |
|
your mercy and grace |
|
someday |
|
someday I'm gonna see you Jesus face to face |
