Brian Littrell - Wish - 2006


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 with you
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 have been there
you took my cross and gave your life 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 going to see you jesus face to face
