I Can Only Imagine con style 1945 Gospel

🎵 I Can Only Imagine (1945 Blue Gospel Version)

[Verse 1 – Solo Voice]
Mmm... I can only imagine, Lord, what my eyes will see,
When Your glory’s shinin’, shinin’ all over me.
Oh yes, my heart’s a-beatin’, my soul’s ready to fly,
When I see my Savior, in that sweet by and by.

[Chorus – Full Choir & Call-and-Response]
🎶 (Lead) I can only imagine —
🎶 (Choir) Only imagine!
🎶 (Lead) When I stand before the Lamb —
🎶 (Choir) Glory to the Great I Am!
🎶 (Lead) Will I shout Hallelujah, will I fall to my knees?
🎶 (Choir) Oh Lord, I can only, only imagine!

[Verse 2 – Soulful Piano + Choir Humming]
I can only imagine, when that trumpet sounds,
And every knee is bowin’, heaven’s joy abounds.
When mercy meets my story, and tears are washed away,
I’ll walk with my Jesus, in eternal day.

[Chorus – Choir stronger, tambourine joins]
🎶 (Lead) I can only imagine —
🎶 (Choir) Yes, I can only imagine!
🎶 (Lead) When I see His face so bright —
🎶 (Choir) Oh, in the morning light!
🎶 (Lead) Will I dance like David danced, or stand still in praise?
🎶 (Choir) Mmm, I can only, only imagine!

[Bridge – Gospel Shout Section]
Oh... when He calls my name!
No sorrow, no pain!
Just glory, just grace,
In that heavenly place!
(Choir echoing: Heavenly place!)

[Final Chorus – Slow, with full choir harmonies]
🎶 (Lead) I can only imagine —
🎶 (Choir) Only imagine!
🎶 (Lead) Wrapped in His love so true —
🎶 (Choir) Lord, I’m comin’ home to You!
🎶 (Lead & Choir together)
Till that day I’ll keep on singin’,
Till that day I’ll keep believin’,
‘Cause I can only, I can only imagine…

(choir fades on “Amen... Amen... Glory, Amen…”)
