“If You Could See Me Now”
Our prayers have been answered
I finally arrived -
The healing that had been delayed
has now been realized
No one is in a hurry, there’s no
schedule to keep
I am enjoying JESUS, just sitting
at HIS feet
If you could see me now,
I’m walking streets of gold
If you could see me now,
I’m standing tall and whole
If you could see me now,
you'd know I’ve seen HIS face
If you could see me now,
you’d know the pain’s erased
you wouldn’t want me to ever
leave this place,
If you could only see me now
My light and temporary trials have
worked out for my good
To know it brought HIM glory,
even when I misunderstood
Though I’ve had my sorrows,
they can never compare
to what JESUS has in store for me
no language can share
You wouldn’t want me to ever leave
this perfect place,
If you could see me now
If you could only see me now!
