Oh, to have been there
When our Savior was conceived
When the Glory of God descended
Upon the woman who had believed
That she would bear the King of Kings
The Son of our Heavenly Father
Oh, to have been with Mary
Our gracious Redeemer's mother
Oh, to have been there
When she wrapped the Holy Babe
To have felt His glowing presence
In the manger where He lay
To have seen God's love shining
From Heaven's dawning morn
Oh, to have worshipped Jesus
From the moment that He was born!
Oh, to have been there
When the thousands gathered 'round
For as He taught His Holy message
They uttered not a sound
Oh, to have seen the miracles
That the Messiah had performed
Where He healed the sick, raised the dead
And calmed the violent storm
Oh, to have been there
When they sentenced Him to die
When they mocked and persecuted Him
And their Master, the disciples denied
Oh, to have seen Him struggle
With the burden of the cross
This, our Savior lovingly endured
To redeem the sinners yet lost
Oh, to have been there
When He gave His life that day
When at Calvary, He suffered a death
That would wipe our sins away
Oh, to have grieved with Mary
As she laid her son to rest
And as she wrapped the Holy Shroud
'Round the man who'd fulfilled his quest
Oh, to have been there
When the stone was rolled aside
To bring forth our Risen Savior
So that forever, He could guide!
The Son of God had come to Earth
To die for all who believe
Oh, to respond to the Heavenly trumpets
When His flock our Shepherd retrieves!
