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….
I remember when this song was released on the radio; I was still at Seattle Pacific, and it was quickly learned by the worship teams at the various churches and school Chapel functions I attended. I have a friend who would sing it as loudly as she could in the car – she has a beautiful voice, and it was haunting to hear.
I wouldn’t have been able to verbalize this at the time, but if I’m honest with myself, I can’t even imagine what it will be like when I stand before God. If I stop to think about it, and consider what I’ve learned about Him in my years of study and personal relationship, I guess it may be some of the things in this song.
Let’s see….I don’t know if I’d dance for Him, it depends on the music, but in awe of Him be still is a pretty safe bet. I also don’t think I’d be singing “hallelujah” as it’s not really my style, but I hope I won’t be quiet for long. I’d love to take a long walk with Him and just talk about things; ask questions, share stories.
I can only imagine so much, and it’s largely based on reality; one of the not-so-fun outcomes of my autistic superpowers I’m afraid. I have a feeling those will be gone when I get there. And I guess that’s ok, not being able to imagine; in a way that makes the day when it actually happens just that much more exciting!
