Inspiration

The inspiration for my blog comes from the song "Wish" by Joy Williams. Brian Littrell (former Backstreet Boy) also sings this song. Sorry Brian, love you and all, but I like Joy singing this song much better. However there was a beautiful video made of Brian's version. I tried to post it here, but not having very much luck. This video is powerful as well as the lyrics of the song. I hope you enjoy it.

For just a moment I wish I could have been there - to see your first step - to hear your very first word - tell me did you ever fall and scrape your knee - did you know your wounds would one day heal the world - For just one moment I wish I could have seen you growing, - learning the ways of a carpenter's son - just a little boy gazing at the stars - did you remember creating every one - if you passed by would I see a child or a king - or would i have known - Chorus: I wish I could have been there - My only wish is to see you face to face - I wish I could have been there just to see you Jesus face to face - For just one moment I wish I could have been there - when you left your footprints upon the waves - to walk along beside you never look away - just your whisper and the wind and sea obey - to see you feed the people - to feel the healing in your touch - Chorus: I wish I could have been there - My only wish is to see you face to face - I wish I could have been there just to see you Jesus face to face - To hear you pray in the garden alone -laying down your will with each tear - to see you walk that lonely road - willing to die for me - and in that moment I know I should have been there - you took my cross and gave your life - But you live again - I wish I could have been there - I wish that I could have seen you rise again - I wish I could have been there - My only wish is to see you face to face - someday I'll be there - I'm gonna be there - I'll see your face your mercy and grace someday - someday I'm gonna see you Jesus face to face
