Face to Face

Face to Face

The first time I see Jesus in heaven

We will meet

And I will fall to my knees

There with my face

Wet, pressed to the ground

His hand will lift me up

A white garment will surround us.

In a tent of white,

Just the Lord and me.

He will lift my chin.

I will see only his eyes.

There, in that moment

His eyes will meet mine.

The tears will wet my face

As I begin to cry.

And he will hold me in his eyes.

He will look into my soul.

Every bit of each other we will know.

It’s a moment that’s frozen

Jesus will wipe my tears away.

“No more crying,” He’ll say.

Light will surround us.

Everyone in heaven will surround us.

But, only his face will I see.
