The Vocal Union When I See Jesus Lyrics

I have seen a lot of changes in this world we're livin' in
And the positives are few and far between
The hate, the greed, the jealosy, this world is filled with sin
But a better life's remaining to be seen

I have seen a lot of dissappointing things in my own life
It's impossible to do what's right it seems
It's grieving me to see in our hearts bitterness and strife
But a better life's remaining to be seen

Chorus:
When I see Jesus, I will know Him by the nail scars in His hands
When I see Jesus, I will know that I have reached the Promised Land
I'll see His glory in the eyes
Of every child of God in sight
When I see Jesus I'll know everything's alright

Moses sent twelve spies to Canaan land to see what they could see
There to spy out all the possibilities
And although ten of them only saw embarrasing defeat
Caleb and Joshua saw only victory

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
When I see Jesus
I never will look back on this whole world (never looking back)
When I see Jesus
Forever I will live in glory above

A man named Saul was traveling along the Damascus Road one day
Persecution of God's church was on his mind
Then the Savior struck him blind for his redemption to reveal
That a better way's remaining to be seen

Christians, see the church is made of people just like you and me
For it's sure we're full of fallability
But on that last great day when Jesus comes to set His people free
A perfect church forever we will be

Repeat Chorus
