I am no fan of “Christian” rock music. But sometimes you are introduced to it, or to a specific song and the lyrics can make you think. Such has happened with a group calling themselves “Mercy Me” with a song, “I Can Only Imagine.” Here are the lyrics:
I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine

It was that question, “Will I dance for you Jesus?” that caught my attention. What will be our response when we stand before Jesus and hear those words, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joys of your Lord” (Matthew 25:21). So, I grabbed my concordance and considered the words “dancing,” but mostly “leaping” and “jumping,” as I knew those were some responses to the miracles of Jesus…
No passage in the Gospels (or the New Testament for that matter) presents men dancing in the presence of Jesus. But, in Luke’s account of the sermon on the mount (better called the “sermon on the plain,” 6:17), Jesus says, “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven” (6:23). “I can only imagine when that day comes and I find myself standing in the Son,…” I will “leap for joy.”
When the man, lame for 40 years, was healed by Peter and John in the temple, Luke writes: “With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God” (Acts 3:8). “Leaping, walking, leaping, and praising God.” You could perhaps call that “dancing” in the broad sense of the term. He wasn’t doing it to any music, apparently, nor to any rhythm. But he was filled with intense joy, nevertheless.
In Mark 10:50, Jesus heals Bartimaeus of blindness and “throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.” But that text doesn’t suggest the repeated movement that the Acts 3 text says. Thus we are left with the statement from Luke 6:23 about “leaping for joy” in the presence of our reward of heaven and the reaction of the lame man to the healing in Acts 3 in the name of Jesus.
Dancing with the Stars? Decidedly not. Leaping, shouting, and praising God for joy? Perhaps. I can only imagine…
