If I Saw Tab

by Tommy Bowman






VERSE 1:

      

If I saw the nails pierce Your hands



Maybe I’d understand

                   

Or the thorns that cut through Your brow

                   

I could begin to know how

           

If I heard You cry out in pain



Then I could better explain

          

If I saw the tears that You cried

                      

Then maybe I would know why

 

CHORUS:

                        

I can’t make sense of the life that You gave

                        

I can’t make sense of the sin You forgave

                          

So I’ll just believe when I look up above

                                   

The reason You did it was all…all for love

 

VERSE 2:

      

If I saw You comfort the thief



I could confirm my belief

                 

If I heard You yell to the sky

               

“My God! My God! Why?”

             

“It is finished” I heard You sigh



Then I’d no longer deny

          

If I felt the quake of the earth

                      

I’d better know love’s worth
