I Wanna Be There

I know a man who’s never seen a sunset
or the leaves changing color in the Fall
he’s memorized the voices of all of his children
and he’s always heard how beautiful they are
he’s always had somebody there to guide his every step
But I believe that one day he’s gonna walk and not be led
and I wanna be there when he does
and all of heaven witnesses his eyes open up
when faith becomes reality
and he can finally see the ones he loves
and I wanna be there when he does
I know a girl with the heart of an angel
prettiest smile you’ve ever seen
but all of her life she’s always dreamed of walking
of folding up that wheelchair and being free
she loves to hear the story of how Jesus healed the lame man
and She knows one day she’s gonna walk just like he can
and I wanna be there when she does
when all of heaven witnesses the first time that she runs
when faith becomes reality
and she can live the life she’s dreaming of
and I wanna be there when she does
no more sickness, no sadness on that day when Jesus comes for us
and I’m gonna be there when He does
