There comes a moment in history
When Christ before us stands
When all the past is but a glimpse
The judgement now of men.

When all is laid before His feet
The life lived now to reminisce
Perhaps He’ll merely show us each
What simply might have been.

What if before me comes a scroll
A movie never filmed
A song that never ever sung
A dream placed deep within?

What if we find there was more
That He desired to send
So now we stand with anguished cries
Seeing what might have been.

Perhaps we’ll see a rebellious child
Whose mischief was merely pain
He longed to know that there was more
A priestly calling craved.

Yet none who cared for Him at home
Introduced Him to The Way
And now his life has turned out sad
No royal heritage gave.

It’s possible The Christ placed in you
An amazing and beautiful dream
But many voices bombarded you
And distractions robbed this scene.

Perhaps Christ called you to mission fields
But comfort did seem to win
So now your face is full of tears
As Christ shows you what might have been.
