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
