No one's in a hurry. There's no schedule to keep We're all enjoying Jesus, ju s t sitting a t 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 Him face to 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 when I misunderstood. Though I've had my sorrows, they can never compare, What Jesus has in store for me, no language can share.
