I Wish I Could Have Been There

Description

I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE

WELL, A WOMAN WAS HEALED WHEN SHE TOUCHED
THE HEM OF HIS CLOTHES
THAT’S JUST ONE OF THE STORIES THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS.
O, I KNOW THE FACTS BUT I’D LOVE TO FEEL
WHAT THE BLIND MAN FELT WHEN HIS EYES WERE HEALED
HE WENT A RUNNING THROUGH THE STREETS TO SHARE

CHORUS
I WISH I COULD’VE BEEN THERE WHEN THE THOUSANDS WERE FED
WITH JUST TWO FISH AND SOME BREAD
AND SEEN THE LITTLE BOY PACKING UP THE REST
I WISH I COULD’VE BEEN THERE
TO SEE THE LAME THAT COULD LEAP
AND HEAR THE DUMB THAT COULD SPEAK
AND SEE THE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE JESUS BLESSED
I WISH I COULD’VE SEEN THE STONE THAT WENT A ROLLIN AWAY
WHEN THEY LOOKED INSIDE THE DOOR
TO WHERE THE GRAVE CLOTHES LAY
I DIDN’T SEE BUT I BELIEVE THAT HE ASCENDED IN THE AIR
AND I REALLY WISH I COULD’VE BEEN THERE.

HE COMMANDED LAZARUS TO WALK RIGHT OUT OF HIS GRAVE
AND IN A GALILEAN STORM HE STARTED CALMING THE WAVES
I WANNA FEEL THAT BREEZE BLOWING ON MY FACE
I WANNA KNOW THE SMELL I WANNA TASTE THE TASTE
JUST READING BOUT’ IT COULDN’T COMPARE

CHORUS

I DIDN’T SEE BUT I BELIEVE THAT HE ASCENDED IN THE AIR
AND I REALLY, REALLY, WISH I COULD’VE BEEN THERE
I WISH I COULD’VE BEEN THERE!
