That we would meet
That I would know
Your presence sweet
I never thought
I'd want to be
This close to you
Oh no - not me!
To think I've heard
The words you said
That stir my heart
And turn my head
Absurd to think
You could forgive,
That through your death
I could live
Too late to know
Your healing touch
Bestowed on those
Loved so much
I'll never see
The lame man walk
The leper cured
The dumb man talk
Now I know
But not too late
That love is stronger
Than all my hate
I know for sure
Why I must die
That you must too -
I'm not sure why
Now I see
Your head bowed low
Nails delivered
By a cruel blow
I see the flesh
Rent apart
Arm stretched wide -
To show God's heart?
Now I see
My eyes divine
Your ugly cross
So close to mine
Darkness falls
The earth turns cold
Faith ignites
And makes me bold
"Remember me"
The words are said
Hope that whirled
Inside my head
"When you come
To take your throne
Take me as
Your very own."
No right I have
With nought to give
That in your Kingdom
I should live
Too late for prayers
And worship song
But by your side
I would belong
"I tell the truth,"
I hear you say
"In paradise
You'll be today.
Standing by
My side you'll be
Cleansed, forgiven
Just wait and see."
With love I gaze
Upon Your face
Amazed that I've
Received your grace
What joy is mine
That I with be
With you for all
Eternity
