Heaven Is The Face

Heaven is the

FaceHeaven is the face of a little girl

With dark brown eyes

That disappear when she smiles

Heaven is the place

Where she calls my name

Says, "Daddy please come play with me for awhile"

God, I know, it's all of this and so much more

But God, You know, that this is what

I'm aching for

God, you know,

I just can't see beyond the door

So right now

Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep

Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while

I singAnd

Heaven is the weight of her in my arms

Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams

And God, I know, it's all of this and so much more

But God, You know, that this is what

I'm longing for

God, you know,

I just can't see beyond the door

But in my mind's eye

I can see a place

Where Your glory fills every empty space

All the cancer is gone

Every mouth is fed

And there's no one left in the orphans' bed

Every lonely heart finds their one true love

And there's no more goodbye

And no more not enough

And there's no more enemy

No moreHeaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss

And a thousand other little things

I miss with her gone

Heaven is the place where she takes my hand

And leads me to

YouAnd we both run into

Your armsOh

God, I know, it's so much more than

I can dream

It's far beyond anything

I can conceive

So God, You know,

I'm trusting

You until

I seeHeaven in the face of my little girl

Heaven in the face of my little girl
