If you could See Me Now

My 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 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 eased. 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. You wouldn't want me to every leave this perfect place, if you could only see me now!
