I Will Be There (I Was There)Words and music by Claudia Lofton Boelte
Copyright 2014 Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam ______________________________ I was there all along I was there when they stole your heart’s song I was there weeping with you I was there broken-hearted, too I was there covering your pain Noting each hurt to turn it for your gain I was there waiting for you To hear my voice and be there with me, too I was there when the thorns pierced His head I was there when the nails scarred His hands I was there when He cried, “They know not what they do.” I was there weeping with Him, too But once in history I was not there My eyes were horrified at the vileness He did bear I turned as He surrendered His life unto me So unholy was that sin His sacrifice I could not see The sky grew red; the earth did shake The dead rose from the grave And at that very moment The power of creation quaked With love so pure Innocence had borne the weight Because of what He did that day A promise I make Oh, my children, I’ll never leave you nor forsake No matter what might befall While on this earth you trod I will be there with you As your Holy God! I will be there Truth to make you free I will be there because of Calvary I will be there to dry your every tear I will be there every prayer to hear I will be there to restore your heart’s song I will be there when things go wrong I will be there to heal your broken heart I promise I will be there We will never part |
