Have I Not Striven

"I Can Only Imagine"
by 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 

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel 
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe 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 
When that day comes 
And 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

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

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

Love Similes

Love is such a beautiful thing,
For it is much more than a new diamond ring.
It comes from somewhere deep inside,
First you must push aside all that conceit and pride.
But I myself have dug my way through,
To the other side full of something all so new;
A feeling that I have never felt before,
For my love for thee is growing more and more.

I love thee like a shining light,
For you have saved me through the darkest night.
I love thee like a freeing dart,
For you have punctured my loveless heart.
Watch it closely as it oozes,
All the hate from my internal cuts and bruises.
I love thee like a Happy Meal,
So good and yummy, let's seal the deal!

I love thee like a sunny day,
For we can go outside for fun and play.
I love thee like the rain and sun,
For I am a flower, and I depend on the special one.
Shower me with water and I will grow,
And the love for thee I will always show.
Shine the rays of love upon me,
So that I can blossom and will always love thee.
