There will be a day when the Lord returns to take his bride home, what a glorious day that will be! “Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen.” Revelation 1:7

I wrote this song as a reflection of who I am, today, in light of what Christ did for me some 2000 years ago. "I Was There" is a song speaking to me being there that day that Jesus died. He died for my specific sins, to pardon me personally, and so, in a real sense, I was there.

I relate to this song so much. I go through times where I feel like I don't quite measure up, but then I hear these words and I realize I do matter to God. When I sing them, the feeling is even stronger.

Sometimes, all you can do is call on the name of JESUS.

This song has always expressed perfectly exactly what Jesus has done for me. He has made me "Clean." I have original songs that I express this in, but I have none with a live recording available at the moment.
