Shadows

As I was on my morning walk observing the incredibly gorgeous sunrise the other day, I was listening..yet again...to my favorite song.

I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe.

I paused in my walking to gaze at the glorious sight before me as the sun crested the horizon displaying the entirety of its glory.

My mind started combining the thoughts between the lyrics of this song and my current view. I observed all that was around me from the sunrise, to the birds singing, the gentle breeze on my brow, and lastly,  the shadow that was being cast behind me.

I had this vision of literally standing in His presence...In the SON.

I came to this amazing realization.

There would be no shadows cast from the presence of this SON. His light would permeate all that moves, has breath and has life.





I Can Only Imagine lyrics

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
I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
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
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
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever,
forever worship you

I can only imagine
