Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

It must've been a miracle
The Son of God, born in this place
People came from miles around to praise You
In the manger where You lay
But You were just like any other helpless child
The world in front of You was as endless as time

You were innocent and Holy
Perhaps we all start out that way
But You were the one the prophets spoke of
Centuries before that day

As You grew, You probably played in fields of clovers
Like I knew, after centuries turned over
Yes there was a time, You were just a child

And I would've liked to know You then
To see how You were different from the child that I have been
I can't imagine how you took the news
That the fate of a dying world had been left up to You

Your father was a carpenter
The skills he knew, he taught to You
You learned the love of God and the love of family
And to put Your heart into everything You do
You shaped timber into beauty, like water into wine
It must've opened Your eyes to the work of shaping lives

As You grew, You took this world upon Your shoulders
And we knew, after centuries turned over
All the things You said, were true

I would've liked to know You then
To see how You were different from the man that I have been
I thank You for the chance You've given me
To come to know You now, but I would've liked to know You then
I've come to know You now, but I would've liked to know You then
