I wish I could have been there 
Em            D                   C 
   To see Your first step, hear Your very first word

Did You know Your wounds would one day heal the world?

    Learning the ways of a carpenter's son 
Em         D             G/B              C 
     Just a little boy gazing at the stars

If you passed by, would I have seen a child or a King?

I wish I could have been there 
                Em               D           C 
When You      left Your footprints upon the waves 
Em            D                G/B         C 
    To walk along beside You and never look away 
Em       D                            C 
    Just Your whisper and the wind and sea obey 
C                              D 
  To see You feed the people 
                   C                   D

Just to see You, Jesus, face to face 

Em            D                    G/B       C 
    To hear you pray in the garden alone 
   Em            D           C 
Laying down Your will with each tear 
Em            D              G/B       C 
    To see You walk that lonely road 
Em           D           C 
    Willing to die for me 

Em          D 
    And in that moment 
G/B         C 
I know I should have been there 
Em               D          C 
    You took my cross and gave Your life
