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 youe 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 thatI 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
