Far away across the ocean On a hill of grief and woe There the stormy clouds did gather As you bled and suffered so Was I there with John and Peter When the empty tomb they found? Was I there when Doubting Thomas Touched your side and then bowed down? My heart is warm within me You were standing at the door Now I know, King of Heaven Who you planned salvation for Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven What have I to do with Thee? Loving friend and precious Savior You mean everything to me [x2] Kenny & Amanda Smith had this song for about six or seven years before they recorded it for their 2012 album, Catch Me If I Try. A girl, Tami Lee Pockstaller, had walked up to them at the IBMA festival (International Bluegrass Music Association) and handed them a CD of songs she had written. This song was number two on that demo, and it blew them away. ►The Petersens: We celebrate American roots music with family values, and perform full time in Branson, Missouri in the USA. The band consists of four siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, our mom Karen, and good friend Emmett Franz.
