In a room with out a view, 
a new mother smiles and holds
her tiny fingers on 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?

Chorus

And they pray, Lord all we have to give
is love and they heard a gentle voice,
Like and 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,
I am 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 for sixty years right by his side and he cries!!!

Oh Lord I loved her till the end, and he heard a 
gently voice say,
You'll see her once again,
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.
Oh I have been there!
Yes I have been there!
