It’s Been Years
It’s been years
Since I’ve seen you.
And now, through my tears,
I think of the past.
How I was wandering in sin,
Lost, wrong on the path.
‘Till I met you
And you told me about Him
How He died for me on Calvary
For all of my sin.
And you pulled me up
From the Water I came.
That released all my guilt
And my shame.
I may see you here again or not,
But what joy we shall share
‘Cause I’ll see you in Heaven.
We’ll spend eternity there.
It’s been years
Since I’ve seen you.
