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 way 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'
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 a 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

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 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
Someday I'll see You, my Jesus
Face to face
