Verse 1:
Some were laughing telling stories
Others waited silently
And from the window where I watched them
Such a peace came over me

As the one who seemed so different
Broke the bread and poured the wine
And I listened as He told them
This would be the final time

And as the hymns of praise began to fill the room
I did not understand but something in me knew

Chorus:
I was there
I have seen
I have looked into the eyes
I could feel His love for me
It left me strong
It left me weak
It left me lost within His mercy
Broken at His feet
I was there
I have seen
And I believe

Verse 2:
Some were cheering some were weeping
I stood watching from the crowd
And as the soldiers led Him past me
I confess I cried out loud

Then they nailed His broken body
A crown of thorns upon His head
And He cried out for His Father
My mind went back again

To the hymns of praise that filled the upper room
And as the darkness fell suddenly I knew

Bridge:
I saw the nails
I saw the cross
I saw the holy King of glory, take my sin at any cost

Chorus:
I was there
I have seen
I have looked into the eyes
I could feel His love for me
It left me strong
It left me weak
It left me lost within His mercy
Broken at His feet
I was there
I have seen
And I believe

I was there
I have seen
I was there
I have seen
And I believe

Allen Asbury, Don Koch, Dave Clark
