“Maybe I Will Be There,” New Era, Sept. 2001, 14–15 Maybe I Will Be There Words by Cynthia Mrazek Pyne Music by Melissa Henrie Spencer First-Place Song 1. I wasn’t at the manger Nor at the cruel cross. I didn’t lay Him in the tomb, Feel numb with grief and loss. 2. I wasn’t there when He arose To worship at His feet. I wasn’t in a Nephite land As He taught other sheep. Chorus But maybe I will be there When Jesus comes again. Maybe I will hear His voice And see the angels then. Surely I will praise His name When ev’ry knee shall bend. Maybe I will be there When Jesus comes again! 3. I didn’t see the miracles Or walk in Galilee. I didn’t see Him raise the dead, Take children on His knee. 4. I never knew His tender smile Or heard Him call me friend. I wasn’t there to see the pain He suffered for all men. Chorus But maybe I will be there When Jesus comes again. Maybe I will hear His voice And see the angels then. Surely I will praise His name When ev’ry knee shall bend. Maybe I will be there When Jesus comes again! 5. My time is in the latter days When truth has been restored. And though I’ve never seen His face, I know my Savior’s word. 6. The scriptures say I need not fear If I will but prepare. Then with the just I’ll be caught up And meet my Savior there. Chorus And maybe I will be there When Jesus comes again. Maybe I will hear His voice And see the angels then. Surely I will praise His name When ev’ry knee shall bend. Maybe I will be there When Jesus comes again! I pray that I will be there When Jesus comes again! Copyright © 2001 by Cynthia Mrazek Pyne and Melissa Henrie Spencer.
