2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NLT)2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NLT)

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.”

When I walk by Your side.I can only imagine

What my eyes will seeWhen Your face is before me.

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.
