The Inspirations "If You Only Knew"

If You Only Knew
Craig Edwards
Rock Altar/BMI


Verse 1
Have you prayed for a loved one struggling hard with pain
You asked the Lord for healing, yet their healing never came
And in spite of all your efforts, the good Lord called them home
And it’s hard to let go when you’re trying to hold on

Verse 2
Now you’re down in the valley looking up to the sky
You pray Lord you know what’s best, but I don’t understand why
But if you could hear your loved one speaking now to you
They’d say you wouldn’t be grieving if you only knew

Chorus
If you only knew, I’m just going home, god answered your prayer
My sickness is gone; things look so much better from heaven’s view
Here the son always shines, we’re having a time, if you only knew

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord
I’m in the arms of Jesus and I’m not suffering any more
Hand in hand we’ll stroll together down heaven’s avenue
Oh what a celebration, if you only knew
