My sister. also my best friend, past away in 2009 at the age of 53 of pancreatic cancer. She requested to have this song played at her funeral. I still mourn her and miss her so much. Thank you for helping me through my grief. Shelley Gerber Queen Creek, AZ I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard you talking about this endeavor on K-love last week.

I lost my Dad 5 months ago, he suffered a massive heart attack and died in my arms, only days after meeting his new baby granddaughter. I take great comfort in knowing that he loved the Lord and he is now with Jesus! The lyrics to I Can Only Imagine are so profound, when I hear it I try my best to sing through the tears. What a truly wonderful song, it reminds me of the joy and hope we have in knowing we will one day be reunited with our loved ones and most of all, Jesus. Thank you.

I lost my son in May of 2005. When he died I died. I heard this song one day and my whole life changed. I know I was meant to hear it. My son and I both shared a love for music and I know he knew this was going to be the only way to get a message to me. I know he made it to Heaven and he wanted me to know that it is more than I can imagine. I am living a life to make my son proud to say "God here she is, my Mom" when I leave this place and my son has my hand as I go to my home in Heaven. I dream of this moment always ~I Can Only Imagine. Thank you for sharing such an inspirational song. I lost my son in May of 2005. When he died I died.

But I just wanted to let you know my story... I just saw your concert in Anchorage, Alaska. I never knew your story behind the song. But here is mine: My mother had cancer and we knew her time was close to being able to go home to heaven. I got the call at 7am April 21st 2004. I had had the privalage to take care of her for the last six months of her life in my home. We had taken her to the hospital to get better pain control. My step-dad was with her when she went. Soon as my step dad told me, I kept hearing these words in my head ... " I can only imagine.... would I fall to my knees....." and that was it. My daughter who has special needs was four and kept asking mommy why are you crying, I told her and she told me we didnt need to cry cause when Jesus comes to get us we will see grandma again.... talk about faith like a child!!! Anyway, I kept hearing these words in my head for several hours.... I went to get into my car to drive to my aunt and grandmothers house and when I turned the car on it was playing your song, "I can only imagine" I lost it and cried so hard! I knew my mom wasnt having to imagine, she was there! The cool thing about this is that my husband at the time was not a Christian, and would not for the life of him listen to a Christian radio station, and he was the last one that drove the car... I believe God knew what I needed and I am sooo thankful that God through you, you were able to write such a wonderful song that has touched and changed my life! THANK YOU!!! When you sang the song in Concert here in Alaska, I lost it and just cried, I had no idea you had lost your father and that was the reason for the song.... Again, THANK YOU!!!!
