If You Could See Me Now

If You Could See Me Now

Our prayers have all been answered.

I finally arrived.

The healing that had been delayed has now been realized.

No one's in a hurry.

There's no schedule to keep.

We're all 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 is 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 when I misunderstood.

Though we've had our sorrows, they never can compare.

What Jesus has in store for us, no language can ever share.

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 is erased.

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place,

If you could only see me now.

If you could only see me now.

The song lyrics above were written by Kim Noblitt in 1992. My favorite line is "If you could see me now, you'd know the pain is erased." What a great promise we have in Christ. If we believe in Him that when this life ends in Heaven we face an eternity that is pain free. I was introduced to this song when teaching by a student that was dying from Leukemia and he wanted this song to be performed at his funeral as an encouragement to those left behind that he was going on to a better place so we should not be sad for him. When someone dies we are sadden because of our lose because we will never get to talk with that person again in this world. But if the person was suffering and they know the Lord then they are going on to a better place they have just left their earthly bodies behind and we can take comfort in this fact and know they are walking the streets of gold.
