"taking light into dark corners"
Oh I wish
I don’t know that I do really – but wouldn’t it be nice to see hope in a sad world? “Have we lost the will to believe?” Oh I wish I could have been there Heard the news of Messiah’s birth changing everything
Oh I Wish I Could Have Been There
When the skies were full of angels
And men’s hearts were full of hope
Oh I wish I could have been there
Been there in the stable when the babe was born
When sin’s night was broken by new creation’s dawn
Oh I wish I could have been there.
Been there when his mother rocked the cradle slow
Rocked her new born baby, loved my Jesus so
Been there when the shepherds heard the angels sing
I wish I could have been there
Been there with the wise men bringing gifts so rare
Giving all that matters – Oh I wish that I’d been there
But it seems a different kind of world
Where a saviour might be born
Have we lost the will to believe
That he’d come to a world that’s bruised and torn
