I Can Only Imagine

To be 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
?

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

Lyrics from “I Can Only Imagine” – Mercy Me

I received the cutest pictures from my daughter-in-love earlier this week!  They were at Disney World and Graham was getting to meet some of the Disney characters at breakfast that morning!

He was grinning from ear-to-ear as he gave Goofy a High Five!  And he just stood in awe as he looked up at Pluto!  I can only imagine his sweet expression, as he was able to greet some his other favorite Disney characters!

I truly had tears of joy as I looked at those adorable pictures and was so excited and happy for him to have this experience!

However, our little Emmett was a little overwhelmed and Rachel said he was terrified of the characters!  Emmett just turned one year old at the end of May, so I imagine that even thought those Disney characters are adorable, they were a little intimidating to him on this particular morning!

Graham and Emmett’s reaction to our favorite, loveable, Disney characters was completely different!  As I pictured their different reactions, I was reminded of one of my favorite Mercy Me songs…I Can Only Imagine.

Just as Graham and Emmett were getting to meet Goofy, Pluto and other Disney characters that morning, someday I will get to meet my Heavenly Father, and I wondered, how will I react when I finally get to meet Him face to face!

When I finally stand in His presence…in His glory…what will my heart feel?  Will I dance before Him, or will I be so in awe of Him that I can only stand still in His presence.

Will I even be able to stand before Him, or will I literally fall to my knees.  Will I sing praises to His name or will I be able to speak at all.  I can only imagine.

That day is coming.  God’s word says…Behold, I am coming soon…Revelations 22:7.  Jesus will return one day, and until that day, I can only imagine how I will respond.  Just as I experienced joy at seeing our little Graham’s face light up as he met Goofy and Pluto, I can only imagine the joy that my heart will feel when I meet my Savior face to face.  May I continue to be ready for that day…the day I meet my Heavenly Father.

Dear Heavenly Father…thank you for your promise to return soon!  Until that day, may I continue to live a life that brings glory and honor to You.  And until I finally get to meet you face to face…I can only imagine how I will react when I see your glorious face.
