If you passed by, would I have seen a child or a King?

When You      left Your footprints upon the waves 
Em            D                G/B         C 
    To walk along beside You and never look away 
Em       D                            C 
    Just Your whisper and the wind and sea obey

  To see You feed the people 
                   C                   D

Em            D                    G/B       C 
    To hear you pray in the garden alone 
   Em            D           C 
Laying down Your will with each tear 
Em            D              G/B       C 
    To see You walk that lonely road 
Em           D           C 
    Willing to die for me 

Em          D 
    And in that moment 
G/B         C 
I know I should have been there 
Em               D          C 
    You took my cross and gave Your life

Wish I could have been there 
                           G       D/F#      Em       C 
My only wish is to see You, Jesus, face to face

Someday I'll be there, I'm gonna be there 
                  G                                D 
I'll see Your face, Your mercy, Your grace
