wish

In 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
Knowing the ways of a carpenter's son
Just a little boy gazing at the stars
But you remember creating everyone
If you passed by would I have seen a child or a king?
Would I have known?

I wish I could've been there
My only wish is to see you face to face
Wish I could've been there
Just to see you, Jesus
Face to face

For just a moment
I wish I could've been there with you
You left your footprints along the way
To walk along beside you & never look away
Just your whisper within (???)
To see you feed the people
To feel your healing in your touch

I wish I could've been there
My only wish is to see you face to face
Wish I could've 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 have been there
To my cross you gave your life
And you live again

I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see you rise again
Wish I could have been there
My only wish 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
