Many years ago I saw Roy Rogers. It was exciting and he was so nice. My daughter and I are in a picture with him.
Ed McMahon— long time partner of the Tonight Show host Johnny Carson — shook my hand and spoke to me.
Lynda Randle, popular gospel singer, hugged me when I asked for her autograph.
Some day I’m going to see Jesus. His name outshines them all.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Oh, I want to see Him.

“As I journey through the land, singing as I go, — Pointing souls to Calvary—to the crimson flow, — Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within; — But my Lord leads me on, through Him I must win.
Chorus:
“Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face, — There to sing forever of His saving grace; — On the streets of glory let me lift my voice, — Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
“When in service for my Lord dark may be the night, — But I’ll cling more close to Him, He will give me light; — Satan’s snares may vex my soul, turn my thoughts aside; — But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate’er betide.
“When in valleys low I look toward the mountain height, — And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight, — With a tender hand outstretched toward the valley low, — Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.
“When before me billows rise from the mighty deep, — Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep, — And He leads me gently on through this world below; — He’s a real Friend to me, oh, I love Him so.”
Rufus H. Cornelius 1916
