Once In Time

Once In Time

Joseph: Once in time I held Him, the one who holds all things.
Mary: Once in time I gave Him life, who gave His life for me.
Joseph: I saw Him grow to man-hood, who spans eternity.
Mary: And once in time Almighty God held children on His knee.
And once in time we saw God face to face.

Joseph: Once in time I taught Him, the One who knows all things.
Mary: Once in time I prayed to Him and now He prays for me.
Joseph: We saw Him cleanse the leper and made the blind to see.
Mary: And once in time I watched Him die upon that shameful tree.
Once in time I saw God face to face.

Chorus:
Once in time God became a man!
Once in time we saw what we could never un-der-stand.
The wonder of creation,
The mystr'y of salvation,
The miracle of God's amazing grace,
And once in time we saw God face to face.

Joseph: Once in time I held Him the One who holds all things.
Mary: Once in time I gave Him life who gave His life for me.
I saw them crucify Him and place Him in the grave.
But he became the risen One who came to seek and save!
And once in time we saw God face to face.

Chorus:
Once in time God became a man!
Once in time we saw what we could never un-der-stand.
The wonder of creation,
The mystr'y of salvation,
The miracle of God's amazing grace,
And once in time we saw God face to face.
