I Saw the Lord

The place was white as snow
And pure as finest gold
It had the look of new
Yet had the look of old
I felt like I was home
But felt so far away
In fear I thought to leave
But felt the urge to stay

And then a silence fell
Like none I'd ever known
I stood among the millions
I stood there all alone
His face was like the sun
His eyes were like the sea
His voice was like the thunder
Rolling through eternity

And I saw the Lord
He was high and lifted up
And rightfully adored
And I saw the Lord
And He saw me

And then from sleep awakened
I looked into the night
The darkness overtaken
By a bright and shining light
Oh, I couldn't understand it
And I couldn't reason how
And then my eyes beheld Him
I wasn't dreaming now

And I saw the Lord
He was high and lifted up
And rightfully adored
And I saw the Lord
And He saw me
