If I could see what the angels see
Behind the walls, beneath the sea
Under the avalanche, through the trees
Gone would be the mystery
If I could see …

If I could hear what the angels hear
The thunderous sound of a crashing tear
Holy, Holy, in my ear
I’d never doubt that God is near
If I could hear …

I’D SEE THAT LOVE WILL CONQUER HATE
THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE, IT’S NOT TOO LATE
I’D FIND THE TRUTH IS EASY TO BELIEVE
IF I COULD SEE …

If I could know what the angels know
That death’s goodbye is love’s hello
And spirits come and spirits go
I feel them, but they never show
If I could know …

If I could stand where the angels stand
And watch this world while God commands
And see how love designed this plan
Reminders on His feet and hands
If I could stand …

CHORUS

If I could see … If I could hear …
If I could know … There’s nothing to fear
If I could stand … If I could see …

Maybe that’s finally eternity
If I could see what the angels see
Behind the walls to you and me
And let the truth set me free
I’d live this life differently
If I could ...

I’D SEE THAT LOVE WILL CONQUER HATE
THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE, IT’S NOT TOO LATE
I’D FIND THE TRUTH IS EASY TO BELIEVE
LIKE SUNLIGHT SHINING ON MY FACE
I’D FEEL THE PRESENCE OF YOUR GRACE
I’D FIND THE TRUTH AND FINALLY BE SET FREE
IF I COULD SEE …
