If You Could Only See Me Now

Our prayers have all been answered.I finally arrived.
The healing that had been delayed has now been realized.
No one's in a hurry.There's no schedule to keep.
We're all enjoying Jesus,just sitting at His feet.

If you could see me now,I'm walking streets of gold.
If you could see me now,I'm standing strong and whole.
If you could see me now, you'd know I've seen His face.
If you could see me now, you'd know the pain is erased.
You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place,
If you could only see me now.

My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good,
To know it brought Him glory where I misunderstood.
Though we've had our sorrows ,they can never compare.
What Jesus has in store for us,no language can share.

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place
If you could only see me now
If you could see me now
If you could only see me now

The passing of Keith from this life to the next brings a strange mixture of sorrow and happiness.
It's a joy and a comfort to know that he is in a perfect place, where he will never again suffer great pain, never again battle his sinful nature, never again shed tears.Yet there's also a deep sadness at the thought of such a special person leaving us behind.
Keith had great faith in his God, deep love for others, and a heart that wanted to exalt his Jesus.I believe that even in his short time with us, he made a lasting impact in the hearts and lives of many people.As time wears on and the sharp edge of pain dulls slightly, let us in looking back to remember him,always remember to look for God's hand in this.
