I can only imagine
I love this song, I am sure you all have heard this one. The words cut right to my heart. I just sit and think about the words and try and imagine what I would do. I look forward to seeing my lord and saviour.
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
(Chorus next)
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
(chorus 2x)(ad-lib)
I can only imagine (4x)
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine.
Today was a sad day for me. I lost a true friend today to cancer. She had been fighting for nine years. She was a true inspiration to life. She never let the disease stop her. She fought so hard, when one doctor said there was nothing he could do for her, she found another one that could help. She was a strong christian and found strengh in the lord. She was so open with her death, and how the lord used her. She shared her visions with us and all I can say is amazing. On her last day before she went into a coma, she said she would die at 3. She did not say a day. At 2:50pm the 17 of september she took her last breath. I was there when she told us for the first time she had cancer and I was there for her last day on this earth. I have learned so much from this specail woman. I know she is out of pain and in a special place. I can only imagine what she did for Jesus.
Thank you for reading
Jamey

Re: I can only imagine
Loosing someone special can be heart breaking but knowing they are with our Lord and we will see them again is more than special.

Re: I can only imagine
I lost a friend this summer and "I can only imagine" was his favorite song which was played at his service.
I am sorry to hear about your loss and thank you for reminding me of a very inspirational song.

Re: I can only imagine
ITs really bad when I'm reading these posts while I am at work. I just began crying as I sang through the song and then read what you wrote. I have a friend whose mom is batteling cancer right now and they are only giving her a couple more weeks to live. Although I've never met her it saddens me, but to know that she accepted the Lord as her personal savior about a week after she found out about her cancer and that she has been staying strong and looking towards the Lord has been encouraging and a wonderful witness. I know that if the Lord takes her, he will use this to maybe even draw her husband to know the Lord.
Your friend... she's there in heaven with the Lord. He called to her. He wanted her to come home. She was willing.
