Top Ten Duet

One of my favorite top ten Christian duets is centered around today’s passage of scripture found in John chapter 20. It’s a song that I hope to be able to sing in “glory” because I can’t reach those notes this side of heaven. In my opinion, this song was written for just two people, Sandi Patty and Larnelle Harris. The song, “I’ve Just Seen Jesus”.

I imagine that this will be one of the songs we sing while we’re gathered around the throne together worshiping Jesus. After you’ve read the words to this song check out the video link, you’ll be glad you did.

“I’ve Just Seen Jesus”  by Gloria Gaither

We knew He was dead, it is finished, He said

We had watched as His life ebbed away

Then we all stood around till the guards took Him down

Joseph begged for His body that day

 

It was late afternoon when we got to the tomb

Wrapped His body and sealed up the grave

So I know how you feel, His death was so real

But please listen and hear what I say

 

I’ve just seen Jesus, I tell you He’s alive

I’ve just seen Jesus, our precious Lord alive

And I knew He really saw me too

As if till now I’d never lived

All that I’d done before won’t matter anymore

I’ve just seen Jesus and I’ll never be the same again

 

It was His voice she first heard, those kind gentle words

Asking what was her reason for tears

And I sobbed in despair, my Lord is not there

He said, “Child, it is I, I am here”

 

I’ve just seen Jesus, I tell you He’s alive

I’ve just seen Jesus, our precious Lord alive

And I knew He really saw me to

As if till now I’d never live

All that I’d done before won’t matter anymore

I’ve just seen Jesus, I’ve just seen Jesus

I’ve just seen Jesus

 

All that I’d done before won’t matter anymore

I’ve just seen Jesus

And I’ll never be the same again

I’ve just seen Jesus
