I can only imagine!

That song hit me today on my way to Brookings like a ton of bricks. The tears were streaming down my cheeks. I have been struggling with so much as of late that it has overtaken who I am. This song made me stop and realize my purpose in this short life that I have. I was conversing with God before this song came on. I was asking Him to help me play with all my heart and with all soul for this upcoming wedding. As I was talking to Him, I felt not only His presence but I could see Him sitting there at the church watching me play and His glorious face having the most radiant smile on it. I lost it. I realized that my playing the piano for my SIL's wedding next Friday is for Him and only for Him, He gave me this talent and now it is time to show Him in His house this talent that I am so grateful He gave me. He is letting me know that He will be there in that church and He will be beckoning me to play for Him. And as I had that vision, this song was playing. I can only image what the day will be like when I am face to face with my Saviour in the glorious realms of eternity. I don't do well with death as a whole and I have always been like that but it is reassuring to me, that I will stand in the presence of my awesome Redeemer and I will spend eternity worshipping Him. In a place with no more tears, heartache or problems. It will be nothing but pure joy and thanksgiving! After the wedding it is my goal to learn this piece on the piano. This is Mikayla's favorite song, and to hear her sing it when it comes on is enough to melt anyone's heart! Please watch this video and read the words to this song, you will see what I mean.

Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me! I can't wait for the day that I stand face to face with you!

BTW you will need to pause the music playing on my site to hear the song!



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
