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

?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 thorny crown
But I need You now
Oh, I need You now
