If You Knew

Verse 1:

There’s a face, I am missing on the other side, far to me, near to me
There’s a laugh I am missing both warm and bright
Brought joy to me

Chorus:

I know somewhere in a great cloud, that voice is still ringing out, clear and loud
And I can almost, I can almost hear it say:
Don’t give up, you can do it, you can go, farther and higher
Don’t give up, keep pressing in deeper for more
If you knew what I know now, you wouldn’t yield any ground, no way, no how,
Don’t give up; you can do it, you can go

Verse 2:

There’s a hand I am missing in my life, helping me, guiding
There’s a voice I am missing made everything alright
Believed in me

Chorus

Bridge:

If you could only know, if you could truly see
The things that really last, ah— the Truth that sets you free
You would give your all, you would give your life,
To bring Glory to the Son to be a shining light
You can go you can go—, farther and higher
Go in the name of the Lord, go in the name of the Lord

If you could see what I can see, if you could know all that could be
You would go, you would run, you would run with all your might, now you would run
Go in the name of the Lord
Higher and further, deeper and wider, you would love with all your heart, love with all your might
You would not shrink back, you would not back down, you would not give up,
You would encourage your child to go—!
