I wish I could have been there
When they saw the star so bright
I’d gladly give up an arm and leg
To see that awesome sight
Some poor, humble shepherds
Heard a million angels sing
A wood-wright helped her virgin bride
Give birth to a king
A sight that would have been
I wish I could have been there
When the child came of age
Afflicted by his own people’s wrath
And mocked upon a stage
Bearing the evil of humans
On the cross, his side was torn
The worst act of mankind
Witnessed by the few who mourned
A sight that would have been
I wish I could have been there
To see the empty grave
No more must people fear the curse of death
For humanity was saved
With his death and life again
He had pardoned mankind’s fall
One man sent by one God
Because he loved us all
A sight that would have been
