[Verse 1]
Used to sing it every Sunday
“I can only imagine” on my tongue
Eyes closed, hands up, tears running
Thinking ’bout the day You’d come
But now the more I see Your mercy
The more my logic comes undone
If Your grace here feels like this
What’s it gonna be when this life’s done? (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause one glimpse in prayer
Has me on my face
If Your shadow in this world
Got me chasing grace
[Chorus]
I can’t even imagine
What I’m gon’ do when I see You
Will I fall, will I dance, will I shout Your truth? (yeah)
All I know is it’s bigger
Bigger than my little view
I used to say I could picture it
But God, I really can’t even imagine You
(I can’t even imagine, no)
God, I really can’t even imagine You
[Verse 2]
All the crowns on every forehead
Every scar turned into gold
Every name that You’ve forgiven
Standing home, finally home
Every story that I never heard
Every secret work You’ve done
Every quiet “yes” in bedrooms
Shining brighter than the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
If a whisper of Your love
Shakes my whole heart now
What’s a thunder of Your glory
Gonna feel like somehow?
[Chorus]
I can’t even imagine
What I’m gon’ do when I see You
Will I sing, will I weep, will I run straight through? (run to You)
All I know is it’s holy
Way beyond what words can prove
I used to think I could picture it
But God, I really can’t even imagine You
(I can’t even imagine, yeah)
God, I really can’t even imagine You
[Bridge]
[Choir call-and-response]
Lead: Every tear
Choir: Every tear You’re gonna dry up
Lead: Every fear
Choir: Every fear You’re gonna silence
Lead: Every knee
Choir: Every knee is gonna bow down
All: And we still won’t grasp Your kindness
Lead: Every song
Choir: Every song is just a shadow
Lead: Every glimpse
Choir: Every glimpse a tiny view
Lead: All of heaven
Choir: All of heaven shouting “holy”
All: But it’s still too small for You (yeah)
[Chorus]
I can’t even imagine
What I’m gon’ do when I see You
Will I fall, will I dance, will I fade from view?
All I know is I’m loved
More than I could ever prove
I used to say I could picture it
But God, I really can’t even imagine You
(I can’t even imagine)
God, I really can’t even imagine You
[Outro]
So I’ll worship in the mystery
Till the day You call me through
Faith in every hallelujah
’Cause God, I really can’t even imagine You (yeah)
