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
