(verse 1) 
             D 
I can only imagine, what it will be like, 
        G 
When I walk, by your side, 
             D 
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, 
           G 
When your face, is before me, 
             D       G 
I can only imagine, 

       G                        A 
Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel, 
       D 
Will I dance for you Jesus, 
 
or in awe of you be still, 
       G 
Will I stand in your presence, 
          A 
Or to my knees will I fall, 
       D 
Will I sing Hallelujah, 
 
Will I be able to speak at all, 
              G     A               D 
I can only imagine,   I can only imagine, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
 
              D 
I can only imagine, When that day comes, 
       G 
And I find myself, standing in the sun, 
              D 
I can only imagine, when all I will do, 
      G 
Is forever, forever worship you, 
               D - G 
I can only imagine, 
 
 
(Chorus)   
       G                        A 
Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel,

Will I dance for you Jesus, 
 
or in awe of you be still, 
       G 
Will I stand in your presence, 
          A 
Or to my knees will I fall, 
       D 
Will I sing Hallelujah, 
 
Will I be able to speak at all, 
            G         A                 D 
I can only imagine, yea,  I can only imagine, 
 
 
(ending chorus) 
 
      G                         A 
Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel, 
      D 
Will I dance for you Jesus, 
 
or in awe of you be still,

Will I stand in your presence, 
          A 
Or to my knees will I fall, 
       D 
Will I sing Hallelujah, 
 
Will I be able to speak at all,

I can only imagine,  I can only imagine, 
        G          A                D 
I can only imagine,  I can only imagine, 
        G          A                D 
I can only imagine,  I can only imagine, 
        G          A                Bm 
I can only imagine,  I can only imagine,
