I Wasn’t There lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wasn't there when old Peter started walkin’
On the Sea of Galilee, the waves were tossin
I wasn't there when the Master pulled him from the deep
I wasn't there when the leper started leapin’
I wasn't there when He raised the child from sleepin'
I wasn't there, but I believe it just the same you see

[Chorus 1]
I wasn't there when He coaxed
Little Zacchaeus out of the tree
I wasn't there when He told them
If you want to catch the big ones follow Me
I know I wasn't there so l didn't hear the preachin’
I quoted John the Baptist and the things he was teachin’
I wasn't there, but I believe it just the same you see

[Verse 2]
I wasn’t there when He saved the woman sinner
Nor among the crowd that ate the big fish dinner
From the five loaves and the two fishes from the sea
I wasn't there when He made the wine from water
But I believe it tasted like the very best order
I wasn't there, but I believe it just the same you see

[Chorus 2]
I didn't hear the cry of old Bartimaeus
Son of David have mercy on me
I didn’t see the blinded eyes as they opened
Nor hear them cry now I see
I know you wasn't there but you don't have to doubt it
Believe it receive it and then you're going to shout
I wasn't there but I believe
And believin's good enough for me
[Bridge]
If Jesus said it I believe it
His Word cannot lie
If it's written in the Bible
I'll believe it till I die
Though the mountains be removed
And cast in the sea
God's Word will live forever
Throughout eternity

[Chorus 2]
I didn't hear the cry of old Bartimaeus
Son of David have mercy on me
I didn't see the blinded eyes as they opened
Nor hear them cry now I see
I know you wasn't there but you don't have to doubt it
Believe it receive it and then you're going to shout
I wasn't there but I believe
And believin's good enough for me
