Williams, Joy - Wish Lyrics






For just a moment I wish I could have been there
to see your first step
to hear your very first word
tell me did you ever fall and scrape your knee
did you know your wounds would one day heal the world
For just one moment I wish I could have seen you growing,
learning the ways of a carpenter's son
just a little boy gazing at the stars
did you remember creating every one
if you passed by would I see a child or a king
or would i have known

[Chorus:]
I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see you face to face
I wish I could have been there
just to see you Jesus face to face

For just one moment I wish I could have been there
when you left your footprints upon the waves
to walk along beside you never look away
just your whisper and the wind and sea obey
to see you feed the people
to feel the healing in your touch
I wish I could have been there

[Chorus]

To hear you pray in the garden alone
laying down your will with each tear
to see you walk that lonely road
willing to die for me

and in that
moment I know I should have been there
you took my cross and gave your life
But you live again
I wish I could have been there
I wish that I could have seen you rise again
I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see you face to face
someday I'll be there
I'm gonna be there
I'll see your face
your mercy and grace
someday
someday I'm gonna see you Jesus face to face

    Oh, D just to see you face to face. At least talk to me, voice to voice. Tell those guys at Logan Media to give me your number, put me out of my misery, help me, I want to talk to you, so bad

    She just got better after forming the Civil War with John Paul White.

    I think I like the Brian Littrell version better... which is a shame, because Joy Williams has a remarkable voice. The backing on the other version is just more emotional.

    @ligyro : Brian's is a cover version.
