I wish that I had seen The wondrous gift was given for all the world to see But He said it is greater that I would still believe For though I was not there that day He came to die for me Oh, I want to turn my face away from His suff’ring Oh, I want to turn my face away from His pain Oh, I want to hear Him cry forgive them And see Him rise again. I want to see Him rise again I wish that I had been there.

I wish that I had seen The wondrous gift was given for all the world to see But He said it is greater that I would still believe For though I was not there that day He came to die for me What a wondrous gift. What a wondrous gift. What a wondrous gift God gave
