If I could be so honored
As to live in Jesus's day
Look upon His Holy face
Kneel at His feet and pray
Would I have followed Him
Left everything behind
Forsaken all I'd worked for
Things I considered mine
If I could be so honored
As to live in Jesus's day
Would I have hung on every word
That Jesus had to say
Would I touch the hem of His garment
So I would be made whole
Or would I walk beside my Jesus
Surrender my heart and soul
If I could be so honored
As to live in Jesus's day
Witness His hands cure the sick
Not one was turned away
Seen Him in all His glory
As He preached in Galilee
Marveled at the miracle
As He walked the raging sea
If I could be so honored
To live in Jesus's day
Listen to His teachings
His every will obey
Would I have felt such awe
Just walking by His side
With the blessings freely given
My every need supplied
If I could be so honored
As to live in Jesus's day
How my heart would have ached
When they carried Him away
As they placed a crown of thorns
Upon His weary head
Would I have fallen at His feet
Begged, Take me instead
If I could be so honored
As to live in Jesus's day
Would I have wiped his brow
Cried for Him to stay
Would I have screamed for mercy
As they nailed Him to the cross
Knowing that for all my sins
He had to pay the cost
If I could be so honored
To live in Jesus's day
Look upon His Holy face
Kneel at His feet and pray
