wonderment

Imagine my shock when I heard this song blasting from somewhere above me while I was waiting for the train home.

I didn’t know SMRT had piped in music and I sure didn’t know they played Christian music.

Then a sign half-hidden behind a pillar on the floor above the platform caught my eye -”Zion Christian Book and Music Store”.

O.o.

Coincidental as it sounds, as I heard the chorus go “I can only imagine”, it was by no mere coincidence.

I spent the day catching up with a good friend after a loooong time and came away with the conclusion: God is a marvellous God and I can only imagine what it’ll be like when we get to see Him face to face.

Gotta start making sure I’m ready to see Him though.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE ~ MercyMe 1999

“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.

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 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.”
