normally i don't have the habit nor liking of posting song lyrics on my blog, but this one really struck a chord.

I Can Only Imagine - by Mercy Me

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

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

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


this song speaks of how unthinkable heaven is to a single human being. the writer speculates about the day he will come face to face with the Lord, but nobody is able to truly ever grasp the scale of heaven. it's just like how an ant will never know how big the cyberworld is.

there are times when i, too, am overwhelmed by the prospects of being in heaven. thinking about eternity, where all i will do is praise the Lord and be merry to no end. think about it: there will be no end! what are we gonna do up there, immortalised, happy, pure and surrounded by true paradise? will we get bored? will we wish to bring an end to our own eternal fate and just disappear?

of course we won't think that way when we're up there. but while we're here on earth, we can only imagine. =p
