V1
I wasn’t there to hear the angels
Singing Glory to God on High
Announcing that a newborn baby
Had come that holy night
I wasn’t there all those years later
(When) He embraced His Father’s will
And took the nails meant for me there
On Calvary’s rugged hill…but
CH
I am here today
All because of grace
Before my heart began to beat
His plan was in place
Every single detail
Written out with loving care
Oh, I thank the Lord for all He did
When I wasn’t there
V2
I wasn’t there when He had risen
And left a cold and empty grave
Conquering death so love and mercy
Would have the final say
I wasn’t there when He determined
Every step I’ll ever take
But I know He holds my future
So I sing this song of faith…
CH
BRIDGE
And even though I wasn’t there to see it
I didn’t have to be there to believe it
Cause I believe, yes I believe…
