Seeing Jesus Soon
I'm all alone, and yet
there's Someone there
I've never seen His face or touched His hand
But there's a calm assurance in my heart
And I'm beginning now to understand
I've never seen the bottom
of the ocean
And I've never been to the dark side of the moon
But that doesn't mean that they aren't real
And so I still believe
That I'll be seeing Jesus soon
Yes, there are times I'd
like to see His form
Like Thomas touch my finger to the mark
Yet I am called to live by faith alone
With blinded eyes I see right through the dark
I've never seen the bottom
of the ocean
And I've never been to the dark side of the moon
But that doesn't mean that they aren't real
And so I still believe
That I'll be seeing Jesus soon

STORY BEHIND THIS SONG...
(Read John 20: 19-29; 1Peter 1: 6-9)
In all the years I have walked with Christ I have never
seen the Lord or had a vision of Jesus, yet I am fully convinced
that He is the risen Savior. There have been times in my
life--difficult times--when it would have been nice to see
some sign or proof of God's existence, but it seems that
God has a better blessing for me. Thomas was allowed not
only to see the Lord but to touch His wounded hands and
side. I find tremendous comfort in the words of Jesus when
He said to Thomas, "Because you have seen Me, have
you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet
believed."
That's you and me, my friends. There's
a blessing for those who believe, having not seen. And the
best part is that in the end, we shall see Him in whom we
have placed our faith. Our hope will not be disappointed!
