Brad found comfort in the song, “If You Could See Me Now” by the group Truth and wanted to include these lyrics in has last words to his family and friends: Our Prayers have all been answered I finally arrived The healing that had been delayed Has now been realized No one's in a hurry There's no schedule to keep We're all enjoying Jesus Just sitting at His feet Chorus: If you could see me now I'm walking streets of gold If you could see me now I'm standing tall and whole If you could see me now You'd know I've seen His face If you could see me now You'd know the pain's erased You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place If you could only see me now My light and temporary trials Have worked out for my good To know it brought Him glory When I misunderstood Though we've had our sorrows They can never compare What Jesus has in store for us No language can share (Repeat Chorus X2) You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place If you could only see me now If you could see me now If only you could see me now
