 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 standing tall and whole 
If you could see me now I'm walking streets of gold 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's erased And 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 we've had our sorrows, they can never compare. What Jesus has in store for us, no language can share. 
If you could see me now... .Don Moen & Kim Noblitt
