This is a moving and quite touching song. The lyrics are captioned in the video as well.
"Imagine"
By Mercy Me
Lyrics:
I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When that day comes and I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever forever worship You
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
[Chorus]
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine...
In contrast to the song above and in connection with my statement below (yesterday) about bad-ass songs, here's an example of what I mean. Love this one. It puts me in a particular state that a friend of mine refers to as "Hunter's Mind" It's the official video, so let's hope youtube doesn't disable it. And besides, Jon Bon Jovi is totally sexy when he sings this song. What can I say? He just is.
"Blaze Of Glory"
By Bon Jovi
Lyrics:
I wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow and the earth was last nights bed
I dont know where Im going, only God knows where Ive been
Im a devil on the run, a six gun lover, a candle in the wind
When youre brought into this world they say youre born in sin
Well at least they gave me something I didnt have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that Im wanted yeah Im a wanted man
Im colt in your stable Im what cain was to abel, mister catch me if you can
Im going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
Im going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood
Im no ones son - call me young gun
You ask about my consience and I offer you my soul
You ask if Ill grow to be a wise man, well I ask if Ill grow old
You ask me if I known love and what its like to sing songs in the rain
Well,Ive seen love come and Ive seen it shot down, Ive seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
cause Im going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first, but I drew first blood
Im the devils son - call me young gun
Each night I go to bed, I pray the lord my soul to keep
No I aint looking for forgiveness but before Im six foot deep
Lord,i got to ask a favor, and Ill hope youll understand
cause Ive lived life to the fullest, let the boy die like a man
Staring down the bullet, let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
Im going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first, but I drew first blood
And Im no ones son - call me young gun
Im a young gun....
