I Can Only Imagine!

 We have all been given an imagination. Some have a better ability of forming mental images than others; yet, I believe everyone who knows Christ can project a mental image of what happened with Christ on the cross, His nail-scarred hands, His ascension, and what is to come.

I Can Only Imagine

 

Can you imagine the clouds so high

Too high for the reach of man and too unclear for the human eye!

There was a man standing beneath them on the ground 

While people stood around-

They had already seen a miracle and a foretelling,

Though they never understood the indwelling.

They had witnessed this man’s death and burial-

They had experienced His resurrection

And preformed a nail-scarred hand inspection.

What miracle was coming next?

The man, before them, had them all perplexed! 

And then He started to ascend-

A cloud came down to cover their friend.

I can only imagine 

This man rising into the clouds and then out of sight

With me standing there watching His powerful might.

I can only imagine the breath being held-

How each man’s chest swelled. 

I can only imagine 

The tears that fell from faces looking upward that day

And the memory being stored away.

I can only imagine!

The wonder, being there and turning, to see 2 strangers in white

Suddenly appearing within their sight,

And saying, “Why look up and sigh?

That is Jesus ascending on high.

But He will come again in the sky

And be seen by every eye.

I’ve read about what this all has meant.

And my chest swells with joy for this great event.

I can only imagine!
