Was I Not With You Master?
Was I not with you
Master
When you made the blind man see
And broke the bread in morsels
On the shores of Galilee?
Did we not linger on the beach
After the multitudes heard you speak
Thirsting for that water
You promised we would drink?
My head upon your shoulder
Your heartbeat close to mine
Your hand upon my forehead
Our union was divine.
“Wait for me,” you said to me
Looking at the sands of time,
“Watch and pray for me each day
Forever you’ll be mine.”
I saw them nail you to the tree
And tear your garments into shreds,
I prayed while you were in the tomb
I hoped you were not dead.
I ran to you on Easter morn
I was so overwhelmed,
Could not contain the joy to know
You’re with us once again!
At eternity you gazed
With essence from above,
“Wait for me,” you said again.
“Watch and pray, my love.”
I watched the world around me change
Two thousand years I prayed
I knew that you would come again,
That things wouldn’t be the same.
Longing for your heartbeat
And for your hand in mine,
Did not forget your loving words
Across the sands of time.
Now when I stop and think of you
I sense your presence here
Not since that day upon the shore
Have I felt you so near
Your hand upon my forehead
Your heartbeat close to mine,
You live inside me Lord each day
Forever you’ll be mine.
Your hand upon my forehead
Your heartbeat close to mine,
You live inside me Lord each day
Forever you are mine.
