I Can Only Imagine


Kendrick chose this song sometime back for worship. When I first heard it, to get myself into the song before we practice, i was dumbstruck by the progression of it, cause I thought it was really good. And then I listened closely and read the lyrics of the song, and I thought, wow, this is really an honest song and perhaps a song which will reflect the genuineness of my emotions when I do meet my Maker when that day comes.
And when I stand before Him, I can only imagine what I would do, cause I wouldn't know what may happen. And I thought that this is really a good song to share with the people around me. And here I put forth the lyrics for your personal reflection perhaps and for you to imagine, what it will be like when you stand before Him. :)
As Celynn once puts it, "An emo song for an emo moment" :D
Herein are the lyrics:-

I can only imagine
What it'll 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

(chorus)
Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus
Or in Your honour 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 Your honour 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 all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine...


The music and lyrics can be found here
Though the version that I first heard was from Soul Survivor and I thought that it was absolutely incredible. :)
