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 capenter's son

Just a little boy gazing at the skies

Did you remember creating every one?

If you passed by, would I see a child or a king

Or would I have known?

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, 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

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

To hear you pray in the garden alone

Laying down your will with each tear

To see you walk the 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, 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, your grace

Someday, someday, yeah

I'm gonna see you, Jesus, face to face
