Wish

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 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
 But you live again
 I 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 and grace
 someday
 someday I'm gonna see you Jesus face to face
