I Have Been There
~Mark Schultz
In a room without a view
A new mother smiles and holds the tiny fingers
Of her brand new baby girl.
Her husband takes her by the hand,
So unsure about the future and no money:
Can they make it in this world?
And they pray, "Lord all we have to give is love!"
Then they heard a gentle voice,
Like an echo from above...
"Oh I have been there
I know what fear is all about -
Yes, I have been there
And I'm standing with you now!
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could
Lead you home -
Oh I have been there!"
He’d been a pastor twenty years,
But tonight he sits alone and brokenhearted
In the corner of the church.
He’s tried to change a fallen world
With his words and with his wisdom,
But it seems like it is only getting worse!
And he cries,
"Oh Lord I just don’t understand!"
And then he felt the hand of grace,
And he heard a voice that said,
"I have been there
I know what pain is all about -
Yes, I have been there
And I'm standing with you now!
I have been there,
And I came to build to a bridge oh so
This road could lead you home -
Oh I have been there!"
An older man up on a hill
Holding flowers but he can’t hold back the tears...
Oh he has come to say goodbye
He thinks about the life she lived,
Thinks about how hard it’s been
To live without her,
Sixty years right by his side -
And he cries,
"Oh Lord I loved her 'til the end!"
Then he heard a gentle voice say,
"You'll see her once again!"
"I have been there
I know what sorrow's all about -
Yes, I have been there,
And I'm standing with you now!
I have been there,
And I came to build a bridge
Oh so this road could lead her Home!
The road could lead her Home -
Oh I have been there!"
"You know I overcame the cross
Yes I have been there,
So her life would not be lost!
I have been there,
And I came to build a bridge
Oh so this road could lead you Home!
The road could lead you Home -
Oh I have been there!"
