I Have Been There Lyrics - Song Cinema - 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 pray, "Lord all we have to give is love" 

And 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 and I came to build the bridge 

Oh, so this road could lead you home, oh, I have been there" 

He's been a pastor twenty years but tonight he sits alone 

And broken hearted in the corner of the church 

He tried to change a fallen world with his words and with his wisdom 

But it seems like it is only getting worse 

And he cries, "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 and I'm standing with you now 

I have been there and I came to build a bridge 

Oh, so this road could lead you home, oh, I have been there" 

An older man up on a hill holding 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 cries, "Oh Lord, I loved her till the end" 

And he heard a gentle voice say, "You'll see her once again" 

"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 

Oh, so this road could lead her home, the road could lead her home 

"Oh, I have been there you know I overcame the cross 

Yes, I have been there so her life would not be lost 

Oh, I have been there and I came to build a bridge 

So this road could lead you home, the road could lead you home" 

"Oh, I have been there 

Yes, I have been there"
