I Have Been There
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
have no money can they make it in this world?
And they pray, 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
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
He Estado Allí
En una habitación sin vista, una nueva madre sonríe y sostiene
los diminutos dedos de su recién nacida niña.
Su esposo la toma de la mano, tan inseguro sobre el futuro
sin dinero, ¿podrán lograrlo en este mundo?
Y rezan, Señor, todo lo que tenemos para dar es amor
entonces escucharon una voz suave como un eco desde arriba,
He estado allí. Sé de qué se trata el miedo.
Sí, he estado allí y estoy aquí contigo ahora.
He estado allí
Y vine a construir el puente para que este camino te lleve a casa.
Oh, he estado allí.
Ha sido pastor durante veinte años
pero esta noche se sienta solo y desolado en un rincón de la iglesia.
Intentó cambiar un mundo caído
con sus palabras y su sabiduría, pero parece que solo empeora.
Y llora, Oh Señor, simplemente no entiendo
Entonces sintió la mano de la gracia, y escuchó una voz que dijo,
He estado allí, sé de qué se trata el dolor
sí, he estado allí, y estoy aquí contigo ahora
He estado allí, y vine a construir un puente
para que este camino te lleve a casa
oh, he estado allí.
Un hombre mayor en una colina
sosteniendo flores pero no puede contener las lágrimas.
oh ha venido a despedirse.
Piensa en la vida que vivió,
piensa en lo difícil que ha sido vivir sin ella
sesenta años a su lado
y llora, oh Señor, la amé hasta el final
y escuchó una voz suave decirás que la verás de nuevo
He estado allí
Sé de qué se trata el dolor
sí, he estado allí y estoy aquí contigo ahora
he estado allí, y vine a construir un puente
para que este camino la lleve a casa, el camino la lleve a casa
oh, he estado allí, Sabes que superé la cruz, sí, he estado allí
para que su vida no se perdiera
oh, he estado allí, y vine a construir
un puente para que este camino te lleve a casa
el camino te lleve a casa
Oh, he estado allí
Sí, he estado allí
