If I Had
by Matthew Macaulay

Album: LifeLight

Verse 1:
If I had a single song to tell the world one thing
If I had just one note to sing to tell a secret to be shared
If I played it on the hilltops of this darkened land
And I placed a vital key in each hand so you could open up the door

Chorus:
I'd sing out Jesus, I'd sing the name of Jesus
For I know he is the way and I'm not afraid to say
He's the hope for all the earth

Verse 2:
If I had a single hour to write a story book
If I had the chapters and I could, tell a tale that you'd believe
Then I'd write it in a way that every eye could read
And all the words would not be flat, but deep, and front to back I'd spell a name

Chorus 2:
I'd write down Jesus, I'd spell the name of Jesus
For I know he is the way and I'm not afraid to say
He's the hope for all the earth

Verse 3:
If I had a single brushstroke to change the sky
If I had a way to show you why, I would paint it crimson red
If I could hold the ocean and it's roaring waves,
To show the power of the love we crave, the mercy lapping on the shore

Chorus 3:
I'd show Jesus, I'd show you all of Jesus
For I know he is the way and I'm not afraid to say
He's the hope for all the earth

Bridge:
He's your lifelight, He's your lifelight
He's shining brighter than the darkness
His light is leading you home

Verse 4:
If you can see the numbers that I've begun,
If you can add up this sum and see the answer black and white
Then you'd sing and find a freedom that lies deep within,
Just let go and jump right in, the river only leads to life
