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

Oh, I know the facts, but I'd love to feel

What the blind man felt when his eyes were healed

When he ran through the streets of Jericho

I wish I could have been there

When the thousands were fed

With just a fish and some bread

And see the little boy packing up the rest

I wish I could have been there

To see the lame get complete

Hear the dumb man speak

And see the multitudes of people Jesus blessed

I wish I could have seen the stone that went a-rolling 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 have 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 the breeze blowing on my face

I wanna know the smell, I wanna taste the taste

Just reading 'bout it couldn't compare

I wish I could have been there

When the thousands were fed

With just a fish and some bread

And see the little boy packing up the rest

I wish I could have been there

To see the lame get complete

Hear the dumb man speak

And see the multitudes of people Jesus blessed

I wish I could have seen the stone that went a-rolling 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 have been there

I wish I could have been there

When the thousands were fed

With just a fish and some bread

And see the little boy packing up the rest

I wish I could have been there

To see the lame get complete

Hear the dumb man speak

And see the multitudes of people Jesus blessed

I wish I could have seen the stone that went a-rolling 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 have been there

I didn't see, but I believe that He ascended in the air

And I really (yes, I really) really wish (really wish)

I wish I could have been there

Could have been there

I wish I could have been there

When the thousands were fed

With just a fish and some bread

And see the little boy packing up the rest

I wish I could have been there

To see the lame get complete

Hear the dumb man speak

And see the multitudes of people Jesus blessed

I wish I could have seen the stone that went a-rolling 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 have been there

I didn't see, but I believe that He ascended in the air

And I really (yes, I really) really wish (really wish)

I wish I could have been there

Could have been there

Could have been there

Could have been there
