My memory of the lyrics are a bit faulty, as I haven't heard this song in about 35 years.
The first verse goes something like this, although this is the part that I may have really really wrong: If I never walk upon those streets of purest gold If I never sit beside the crystal sea If I never see that mansion prepared to be my final home I want to see Jesus cause He died for me. Chorus (which I think is probably reasonably accurate): To look into the eyes of mercy that watched over me when I strayed I want to see those nail-scarred hands that gently brushed my tears away I'll thank Him for each drop of blood He shed at Calvary I want to see Jesus cause he died for me. |

The second verse goes something like this though there is one section I cannot remember (I hope this helps):
If I don't see those walls of jasper those twelve gates of pearly white, If I don't sit beneath the tree of life. ________________________ I'll bow beneath thos nail scarred feet, I want to see Jesus cause he died for me. |

This is a song I heard when I was very young. A local group sang it.
I think these are the words: I Want to See Jesus Cause He Died For Me If I never walk upon those streets of purest gold, If I never sit beside that crystal sea, If I never see that mansion prepared to be my final home, I want to see Jesus cause He died for me. CHORUS To look into those eyes of mercy that watched o'er me when even I strayed, I want to feel those nail-scarred hands that gently brushed my tears away. To thank Him for each drop of blood that flowed from Calvary, I want to see Jesus cause He died for me. If I don't see those walls of japser those twelve gates of pearly white, If I don't sit beneath the tree of life. If I'm permitted but to enter I'll bow beneath those nail-scarred feet, I want to see Jesus cause He died for me. |

I am told that a man named Billy Smith from up around Horn Lake,Ms. is
the one that possible wrote this song. He and his sons had a group many years ago,I think called the Spiritual Echoes. |

Here is this song as I learned it from a local group The Silvertones
If I never walk upon those streets of purest gold, If I never sit beside the crystal sea, If I never see that mansion prepared to be my final home, I want to see Jesus, 'cause He died for me. (Chorus) To look into those eyes of mercy, that watch o'er me when I stray, I want to feel those nail scarred hands, that gently brushed my tears away. I want to thank Him for each drop of precious blood that flowed from Calvary, I want to see Jesus, 'cause He died for me. If I never see those walls of jasper, those twelve gates of pearly white, If I never sit beneath the tree of life, But if I'm permitted but to enter, I'll fall beneath those nail-scarred feet, I want to see Jesus, 'cause He died for me. (Chorus) To look into those eyes of mercy, that watch o'er me when I stray, I want to feel those nail scarred hands, that gently brushed my tears away. I want to thank Him for each drop of precious blood that flowed from Calvary, I want to see Jesus, 'cause He died for me. I want to see Jesus, 'cause He died for me. |

google I Bowed On My Knees
I dreamed of a city called heaven, so bright and so fair, As I entered the gates I cried holy The angels all welcomed me there, The carried me from mansion to mansion, and oh what a sight I saw but I said I want to see Jesus, He's the one who died for us all. (Choir) I BOWED ON MY KNEES AND CRIED HOLY HOLY, HO, O, OLY, HOLY I CLAPPED MY HANDS AND SAID GLORY GLORY TO THE SON OF GOD, GLORY TO THE SON OF GOD, (Modulate) As I entered the gates of that city, all my loved ones knew me well, as we walked down the street that they call glory, all the sights were too many to tell, I saw Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I talked with Mark, and Timothy, but I said I still want to see Jesus, He's the one who died for me (Chorus) (2nd time) Glory to the so on of God x 3 (Music Break) (Drive) Glory hmmm ain't no harm to moan, I want to take some time out to say glory, Lord you've been better to me than I've been to myself, that's why I want to say glory, Lord I really really love you,that's why I want to take out some time to say Glory, Glory Hallelujah is the highest praise, Glory is the name of the Lord Jesus, Lord You are so holy, Glory, Yes to your will, yes to your way, glory, glory. |
