Mark Schultz - I Have Been There lyrics

In a room without a view

A new mother smiles and

holds the tiny fingers

Of her brand new baby girl

Her husband takes her by the hand

So unsure about the future and no money

Can they make it in this world

And they pray, Lord all we have to give is love

Then they heard a gentle voice

Like an echo from above

Oh I have been there

I know what fear is all about

Yes, I have been there

And I am standing with you now

I have been there

And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could

Lead you home

Oh I have been there

He'd been a pastor twenty years

But tonight he sits alone and brokenhearted

In the corner of the church

He's tried to change a fallen world

With his words and with his wisdom

But it seems like it is only getting worse

And he cries

Oh Lord I just don't understand

And then he felt the hand of grace,

And he heard a voice that said

I have been there

I know what pain is all about

Yes, I have been there

And I am standing with you now

I have been there

And I came to build to a bridge oh so

This road could lead you home

Oh I have been there

An older man up on a hill

Holding flowers but he can't hold back the tears

He has come to say goodbye

He thinks about the life she lived

Thinks about how hard it's been

To live without her

Sixty years right by his side

And he cries, Oh Lord I loved her

'til the end

Then he heard a gentle voice say

you'll see her once again

I have been there

I know what sorrow is all about

Yes, I have been there

And I am standing with you now

I have been there

And I came to build a bridge

Oh so this road could lead her home

The road could lead her home

Oh I have been there

You know I overcame the cross

I have been there

So her life would not be lost

I have been there

And I came to build a bridge

Oh so this road could lead you home

The road could lead you home

Oh I have been there
