I Can Only Imagine



I plopped down in my easy chair this afternoon and absentmindedly flipped on the radio. Soon, this song came on. I was incredibly moved by it, especially because it was played on a general rock radio station. It's a beautiful song, and just pasting the lyrics here doesn't do it justice.



I Can Only Imagine

(Mercy Me)



I can only imagine what it will be like,

when I walk by Your side...

I can only imagine,

what my eyes will see,

when Your Face is before me!

I can only imagine. I can only imagine.



Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?

Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?

Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine! I can only imagine!



I can only imagine, when that day comes,

when I find myself standing in the Son!

I can only imagine,

when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You!

I can only imagine! I can only imagine!



Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?

Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?

Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!



Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?



Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?

Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?

Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!



I can only imagine! Yeah!

I can only imagine!! Only imagine!!!

I can only imagine.



I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship You!

I can only imagine.
