If I saw You at the cross
In blood and gore,
I would likely turn my head;

If I saw You on Your throne
In all Your glory
I’d fall on my face as dead.

Though I sing and read and pray,
I doubt I’ll ever comprehend
All You are,
All You’ve done,
All You’ve said;

All You’ve given to me,
All You’ve forgiven me,
All You’ve placed within me,
And all that You’ve removed from me…

Not ’til glory,
‘Til You’ve removed every bit
Of gore in me;
Not until the time
You call me home
Will I know
How much I am Your own.

Heaven bound
To be unbound
From futile flesh,
From the worldly mess
That seeks to distract me.

Heaven bound,
My home now found
In future place with You;

I make it through
With You in me,
Heaven bound
For unity…
Your love and promises
Complete, I’ll see!
