I WANT TO SEE JESUS FOR MYSELF (Philip A. Matthews)

VERSE ONE:
I’ve heard the old folks talking of
The streets of gold, the joys above,
And of the Lord Who lights that land in love and grace.
Oh, how it fills me with desire,
My soul it thrills, my faith inspires.
I want to see Jesus for myself one of these days.

CHORUS:
I want to see Jesus for myself one of these days, one of these days.
For He is the reason that I walk in this narrow way.
And when I hear God’s final call,
I’ll know that it’s been worth it all.
I want to see Jesus for myself one of these days, one of these days.

VERSE TWO:
They say that Stephen looked above
And saw the Lord smiling in love.
The sight of Jesus gave him strength the grave to face.
Oh, and I, too, just want to see
The Savior smile His smile on me.
I want to see Jesus for myself one of these days.

VERSE THREE:
I’ve walked with Him for many years,
He’s been my Friend, He’s dried my tears.
I’ve felt His presence in my soul along the way.
Oh, but there comes a time and place
When I must see Him face to face.
I want to see Jesus for myself one of these days.
