I Can Only Imagine

by 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

[Chorus:]
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
When that day comes
And 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

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you


I really love this song for several reasons.  First, it makes me think of the throne and what it will be like to stand in awe before it one day.  It sets my eyes on heaven and that it will one day be my eternal home with the Lord.  That is just an absolute awesome thought to meditate on. 

The second thing this song does is remind me of my mom.  I had never heard this song until the week she died.  I do imaginie her there, with Jesus.  I can't help but wonder what she must be thinking, I imagine that even after being there for 5 years she is probably still overwhelmed by the beauty of heaven and God Almighty!
