Next Gen Men

As documented on my personal blogs recently (antipaucity, warrenmyers), my aunt died suddenly Monday morning.

Certainly she is in a much better place now, never again having to deal with pain and sickness and immobility.

It is as such times, however, that you stop to take stock of what’s important. The hecticity of modern life seems to get in the way of spending time with people. There’s travel, work, car rentals, hotels, customers, shopping, busy, busy, busy.

I know that Cindy’s only “fallen asleep” and will be awakened again with the final trump, but in the mean time, I also know that priorities need to be shifted to what’s important: God, life, people. Work is a requirement, but not the be-all end-all.

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

[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
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

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
