Lyrics of I need you now

I've never seen that little town where you were born
It was long before my time and far away
But as time goes on i think about you more and more

And wonder what it was like in those days
I wish i could have walked with you
You might have called me friend
But there's no way i could've known you then

But i know you now
I know your name
A lot of awesome things you did and why you came
I didn't know you when

You helped that lame man rise up from his bed
I didn't know you when
You stood there and called lazarus from the dead
But i know you now

I didn't see you feed that tired hungry crowd
With five loaves and two fish one afternoon
And i didn't see you catch peters hand
So he wouldn't drown

When he tried the walk on water like you
I couldn't see your face
When you taught those little kids
There's just no way i could've seen you then

But i see you now i see your love
I see a tiny glimpse of you in every one of us
I didn't see you on the mount of olives, crying

As you prayed i couldn't see you when
You were kissed
By judas and betrayed
But i see you now

Oh, i didn't need you when that bitter angry mob
Shouted out crucify him
And i couldn't have needed you
When they laughed and mocked you
But it could be i'm a little bit like them

Cause i need you now
I need your grace
And how i needed your forgiveness to be saved
I didn't need you when pilate's soldiers beat you to the ground

I didn't need you when you hung there
Bleeding from your thorny crown
But i need you now
Oh, i need you now
