IF  YOU  COULD  SEE  ME

My prayers have all been answered –

I finally have arrived;

The healing that was long delayed –

Has now been realized.

No one is in a hurry –

No schedule must I keep –

I am being taught by Jesus

As I worship at His feet.

My short and temporary trials –

Have worked out for my good;

As He explained them unto me,

I have finally understood.

Though we have had our sorrows,

There is nothing so secure

As all our Savior has in store

For those who do endure.

If you could see me now …

I am whole and standing tall;

And thus the earthly pains I bore

Seem all so very small.

If you could see me now …

You would know I’ve seen His face;

And thus you would not ever want

For me to leave this place.
