Song Lyrics

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

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 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 these walls to you and me
And let the truth set me free
I'd live this life differently
If I could, if I could see

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
If I could see
If I could see
One day I'll see
