I Have Been There Songtext
von Mark Schultz

In a room without a view
A new mother smiles and holds the tiny fingers
Of her brand new baby girl
Her husband takes her by the hand
So unsure about the future
And no money, can they make it in this world?

And they prayed
"Lord, all we have to give is love"
Then they heard a gentle voice
Like an echo from above

I have been there
I know what fear is all about
Yes, I have been there
And I′m standing with you now
I have been there
I came to build a bridge
Just so this road could lead you home
I have been there


Been a pastor twenty years
But tonight he sits alone and broken-hearted
In the corner of the church
Trying to change a fallen world
With his words and with his wisdom
But it seems like it is only getting worse

And he cried
"Oh Lord, I just don't understand"
Then he felt the hand of grace
And he heard a voice that said

I have been there
I know what pain is all about
Yes, I have been there
I′m standing with you now
I have been there
I came to build a bridge
Just so this road could lead you home
I have been there

An older man upon a hill
Broken flowers, but he can't hold back the tears
Oh, he has come to say goodbye
He thinks about the life she lived
Thinks about how hard it's been to live without her
Sixty years right by his side


And he cried
"Oh Lord, I loved her ′til the end"
Then he heard a gentle voice
Say he′ll see her once again

'Cause I have been there
I know what sorrow′s all about
Yes, I have been there
And I'm standing with you now
I have been there

And I came to build a bridge
Just so this road could lead you home
This road could lead you home
I have been there

You know I overcame the cross
Yes, I have been there
So your life would not be lost
I have been there
I came to build a bridge
Just so this road could lead you home
The road could lead you home
I have been there
′Cause I have been there
