Imagine…
***************************************************************
The song blared from my car radio. The song was “I Can Only Imagine”, by Mercy Me. The tears came into my eyes, I tried hard not to blink, for fear that once started, they would be difficult to stop.
“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 came out the year before my husband died. It became really popular the year he died. The song was on the radio, the band members were interviewed and the words were memorized.
The truth is, at that time in my life, I could relate to that song in ways that most could not. I pictured my late husband kneeling before Jesus, utterly speechless in His presence.
I would not see my husband’s face again or hear the sound of his deep voice….not on this side of heaven.
But, there was comfort in the lyrics to this song, because I knew where my husband was. At that very moment and for all the moments to come.
He didn’t have to imagine anymore. Not then. Not now.
He knows.
