Song Lyrics:

If I were there
With the shepherds on that night
When the host of angels came,
Would I have fainted from the fright?
If I were there

If I were there
In the stable on that morn
looking in the manger bed
at the child who had been born
If I were there

But blessed is the one
who believes and doesn't see
who trusts the word of God
That is life for you and me
and blessed is the one
who knows He is the way
and accepts Him as the Son of God today

What would I say
When his mother's glance turned down
at the young one in her arms
In that cold Bethlehem town
If I were there

What would I feel
when the wisemen trio came
to worship with their gifts
would I ever be the same
If I were there

But blessed is the one
who believes and doesn't see
who trusts the word of God
That is life for you and me
and blessed is the one
who knows He is the way
and accepts Him as the Son of God today
