When We See Him
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The imaginations of our heart
Can never ever really start
To show us all the things we’ll see
When we have reached eternity
So, come along now off we’ll go
To see the One who runs this show
The only One True awesome King
Who causes all men’s hearts to sing
We’ll rise to meet him in the air
And though we’ll be a little scared
We’ll settle in this sacred place
Where we will always see his face
