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

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
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 oooh ooooh
I can only imagine yeahhh yeahhh

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 yeahh
I can only imagine yeahhh yeahhh
I can only imagine yeahh
I can only imagine
I can only imagine yeahh
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
when all I will do is forever
forever worship you
