I´ve never seen that little town where You were born It was long before my time and far away But as time goes on I think about You more and more
And wonder what it was like in those day´s I wish I could have walked with You You might have called me friend But there´s no way I could´ve known You then
But I know You now I know Your name A lot of awesome things You did and why You came I didn´t know You when You helped that lame man rise up from his bed I didn´t know You when You stood there and called Lazarus from the dead But I know You now
I didn´t see You feed that tired hungry crowd With five loaves and two fish one afternoon
And I didn´t see You catch Peter´s hand So he wouldn´t drown When he tried the walk on water like You I couldn´t see Your face When You taught those little kids There´s just no way I could´ve seen You then
But I see You now I see Your love I see a tiny glimpse of You in every one of us I didn´t see You on the mount of olives Crying as You prayed I couldn´t see You when You were kissed by Judus and betrayed But I see You now
Oh, I didn´t need You when that bitter angry mob
Shouted out crucify him And I couldn´t have needed You When they laughed and mocked You But it could be I´m a little bit like them
Cause I need You now I need Your grace And how I needed Your forgiveness to be saved I didn´t need You when Pilates soldiers beat You to the ground I didn´t need You when You hung there Bleeding from Your thorny crown But I need You now
