| I’ve never seen that little town where You were born
|
| It was long before my time and far away
|
| But as time goes on I think about You more and more
|
| And wonder what it was like in those day’s
|
| I wish I could have walked with You
|
| You might have called me friend
|
| But there’s no way I could’ve known You then
|
| But I know You now
|
| I know Your name
|
| A lot of awesome things You did and why You came
|
| I didn’t know You when
|
| You helped that lame man rise up from his bed
|
| I didn’t know You when
|
| You stood there and called Lazarus from the dead
|
| But I know You now
|
| I didn’t see You feed that tired hungry crowd
|
| With five loaves and two fish one afternoon
|
| And I didn’t see You catch Peter’s hand
|
| So he wouldn’t drown
|
| When he tried the walk on water like You
|
| I couldn’t see Your face
|
| When You taught those little kids
|
| There’s just no way I could’ve seen You then
|
| But I see You now
|
| I see Your love
|
| I see a tiny glimpse of You in every one of us
|
| I didn’t see You on the mount of olives
|
| Crying as You prayed
|
| I couldn’t see You when You were kissed by Judus and betrayed
|
| But I see You now
|
| Oh, I didn’t need You when that bitter angry mob
|
| Shouted out crucify him
|
| And I couldn’t have needed You
|
| When they laughed and mocked You
|
| But it could be I’m a little bit like them
|
| Cause I need You now
|
| I need Your grace
|
| And how I needed Your forgiveness to be saved
|
| I didn’t need You when Pilates soldiers beat You to the ground
|
| I didn’t need You when You hung there
|
| Bleeding from Your thorny crown
|
| But I need You now
|
| Oh, I need You now |
