If I Were There

If I were there on that silent night, Would I hear angels sing praises in the sky? If I were there, would I go with haste With humble shepherds to seek His holy place? If I were there, I'd find the manger And bow before the tiny Savior I'd sense the peace that filled the air If I were there, if I were there If I were there, would I see the star And join with wisemen who journeyed from afar? If I were there, would I gladly bring My finest treasure to lay before my King? If I were there, I'd find the manger And bow before the tiny Savior I'd sense the peace that filled the air If I were there, if I were there I was not there, but inside I know That precious baby who came so long ago Was Jesus Christ, Lord of heav'n and earth I sing his praises as I celebrate His birth If I were there, I'd find the manger And bow before the tiny Savior I'd sense the peace that filled the air If I were there, if I were there If I were there
