I Have Been There Lyrics
Words and Music by 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
I have been there I know what fear is all about Yes, I have been there 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 save a fallen world With his words and with his wisdom But it seems like it is only getting worse And he cried, Oh Lord I just don't understand And then he felt the hand of grace, and he heard a voice that said
Yes, I have been there I know what pain is all about I have been there And I am 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
An older man up on hill Holding flowers but he can't hold back the tears 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 is all about Yes, I have been there And I am 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 Well I overcame the cross 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
