Lyrics

You never pass a lonely soul you fail to meet
The gardener pulling weeds, the beggar on the street.
The ones who seem invisible, the addicts gone astray,
I never really saw them until you stopped to pray,
When I asked why you always seem to care,
You could only answer?

(Chorus)
I?ve been there, I?ve been there
I begged to die in pain no one could share,
I felt the wounds, I kept the scars
I can meet them where they are.
I can feel their pain, ?cause I?ve been there.

So many times I see the tears fill wounded eyes,
A church has put them out, or filled their minds with lies,
They feel they are invisible, their hearts have grown so hard,
Abandoned by their families because of who they are.
Jesus, how can you reach through such despair?
Then I hear you answer?

(Chorus)
I?ve been there, I?ve been there
I begged to die in pain no one could share,
I felt the wounds, I took the scars
I can meet you where you are.
I can feel your pain, ?cause I?ve been there.

It took the cross, it took the shame,
It took My blood so you could know I felt your pain.

(Chorus)
I?ve been there, I?ve been there
I begged to die in pain no one could share,
I felt the wounds, I took the scars
I can meet you where you are.
I can feel your pain, ?cause I?ve been there.

Christ says, ?Don?t leave before you say a simple prayer,
You can come from death to life??cause I?ve been there.
Oooo, I?ve been there.
