Wish |
For just a moment |
I wish I could have been there |
To see your first step, 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 carpenter’s son |
Just a little boy gazing at the stars |
Did you remember creating every one? |
If you passed by |
Would I have seen a child or a King? |
Would I have known? |
I wish I could have been there |
My only wish is to see you face to face |
Wish I could have been there |
Just to see you, Jesus, face to face |
For just a moment |
I wish I could have been there |
When you left your footprints upon the waves |
To walk along beside you and never look away |
Just your whisper and the wind and sea obey |
To see you feed the people |
To feel your healing in your touch |
I wish I could have been there |
My only wish is to see you face to face |
Wish I could have been there |
Just to see you, Jesus, face to face |
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’ve been there |
You took my cross and gave your life |
(And you live again) |
Oh, and you live again! |
Wish I could have been there |
My only wish is to see you rise again |
Wish I could have been there |
My only wish is to see you |
Jesus, face to face |
Someday I’ll be there |
I’m gonna be there, I’ll see your face |
Your mercy, your grace |
Someday, someday |
I’m gonna see you, Jesus |
Face to face |
