Goose Bumps

So I don't EVER do this but I am not tired tonight and thought I would share.

Ever had one of those moments when just the right song comes on the radio while you are driving in the car? I have spent plenty of time in the car the past few weekends between going downstate to see David off for 10weeks of school and then the following weekend to see him do his presentation for his scholarship.

I was driving from Lansing over to David's parents house in Columbiaville,MI and I was listening to a christian radio station (because they actually have them down there). The song I can only imagine came on the radio now my first though when that song comes on is that it was a way over played song. As it keeps playing though it reminds me of the first time I got goose bumps listening to it. I was flying out to California for Christmas to see my parents and was on a 45 min flight from LA to a smaller airport close to where they lived. As we reached altitude that song popped up on my i pod and i was about to hit the next button but I just happened to look out the window and see the sun shinning across the clouds and I stopped and began to actually listen to the lyrics with this amazing view out my airplane window... I got goose bumps all over my body. Being above the clouds with the sun shining I couldn't stop thinking about how much more amazing it is going to be when we are able to be in God Presence some day. We think that things like that on earth are great...I can't wait to be in Heaven. This song is a perfect way to explain how I felt in that moment. Back to being downstate as I was driving last weekend from one point to the other this song came on and my first though was the usual this song is over played. As the lyrics started a huge thunderstorm hit (i love thunderstorms so I didn't mind) down pouring rain, huge pounding thunder and lightening in the distance. As the song played I once again listened to it and began to get the goose bumps again but this time it was at the thought of how powerful our God really is and once again this thunderstorm is only a small show of his power. Once again a the song perfectly portrayed my feelings.

Right now "We Can Only Imagine" what it will someday be like. But I love the "little glimpses" that don't even come close to showing Gods full power and glory but are small reminders to those of us here on earth.

I Can Only Imagine-Mercy me

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 honour 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
When 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

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

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

I can only imagine
