What Will I Say?

What Will I Say

What will I say when it's all over

and the battle of this life is won

When I stand in the awe of His presence

and the passing of judgment is done

When all that remains is righteous, and the

sins of man no longer are found

What words from my lips will be heard,

to the God of my heart, what sound

When the proof of His promises made

gives life to the truth of His plan

What words will I use to express, my

thanks for His love of this man

When I see the deep scars, the reminder, of

the price my dear Savior paid

Just to give me all that He promised,

in spite of the errors I made

When I see the stripes for my sin, that

He took with each terrible blow

Will my heart be able to truly express

all that I see and now know

Will He understand my choked silence,

my heart bursting, as my tears fall

Will He know my heart toward Him

when I'm so overcome by it all

Will heaven have words to thank Him

for lessons that then seemed so hard

As I stand clothed in honor, receiving

my unearned eternal reward
