I've never seen that little town where You were born
It was long before my time and far away
But as time goes on I think about You more and more

And wonder what it was like in those day's
I wish I could have walked with You
You might have called me friend

But there's no way I could've known You then

But I know You now

I know Your name
A lot of awesome things You did and why You came
I didn't know You when

You helped that lame man rise up from his bed
I didn't know You when
You stood there and called Lazarus from the dead

But I know You now

I didn't see You feed that tired hungry crowd

With five loaves and two fish one afternoon
And I didn't see You catch Peter's hand
So he wouldn't drown

When he tried the walk on water like You
I couldn't see Your face
When You taught those little kids

There's just no way I could've seen You then

But I see You now

I see Your love
I see a tiny glimpse of You in every one of us
I didn't see You on the mount of olives

Crying as You prayed
I couldn't see You when You were kissed by Judus and betrayed
But I see You now


Oh, I didn't need You when that bitter angry mob
Shouted out crucify him

And I couldn't have needed You
When they laughed and mocked You
But it could be I'm a little bit like them


â??Cause I need You now
I need Your grace

And how I needed Your forgiveness to be saved
I didn't need You when Pilates soldiers beat You to the ground
I didn't need You when You hung there

Bleeding from Your t^^&$#* crown
But I need You now
Oh, I need You now
