Lyrics
1.When I see the Lord in heaven
I will gaze upon His smile
I will linger in His presence
I will rest with Him a while
I have waited all a lifetime
For this moment to come true
I have waited just to see Him
And I know He's waited too.
CHORUS
I'll thank the Lord for all the times He met with me in prayer
I'll thank Him for His faithfulness
I always felt Him there
I'll thank the Lord for everything
For I know it came from Him
But most of all I'll thank Him for
The Life I gained in Him.
2.When I see the Lord in heaven
I will stare at Him in awe.
I will revel in His glory
And the wonder of it all.
And I'll marvel at His beauty
At His countenance so bright
I'll be humbled by His mercy
As I stand there in His Light.
