I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE

I wish I could have been there
A shepherd in the field
When angels broke the heavens
A miracle revealed
To feel my heart beat race
Excitement catch my feet
Meet the wind on the hills as I run

I wish I could have been there
In the stable court that night
To hold this tiny baby
God's promise come to life
To gather in the sounds
As night drew into dawn
Rock a Savior to sleep in my arms

CHORUS
This is no dream
No weaver's scheme
No childlike fantasy
One night in Bethlehem
A Savior was born to men
Son of God, Emmanuel

I wish I could have been there
To watch her gentle eyes
To know what she was keeping
Within he thoughts that night
A mother's precious memories
Safe within her heart
Sing a whisper of love, lullaby

I wish I could have been there
A seeker from the start
A thinker on a journey
With eyes upon a star
 To see its glory splash
And circle 'round the child
Heaven's light to proclaim Him my King

CHORUS
This is no dream
No weaver's scheme
No childlike fantasy
One night in Bethlehem
A Savior was born to men
Son of God, Emmanuel

This is no dream
No weaver's scheme
No childlike fantasy
One night in Bethlehem
A Savior was born to men
Son of God, Emmanuel
