"The First Face I Want To See" lyrics
Your face will be the first face I wanna see
You are there when I am lonely
You are there when I need a friend
I take comfort in your word when I get weary
And I know you'll be there 'til the end
When it's all said and done
And my race has been run
That's when your face
Will be the first face I wanna see, oh yes
You are there when I have no one to talk to
All my friends get just a little bit too busy for me
I don't care (I don't care) about the things I suffer
Down here in this earth
They really, they really, they don't bother me
But soon I'll be forever in your presence
I know you'll be there just waiting for me
And your face will be the first face I wanna see, oh yeah
I wanna see
(Jesus) You suffered and died for me
(Jesus) Oh, you freed me from myself
I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) Sometime when I was confused, you brought me out of darkness
(Jesus) Oh yeah, you walk with me
(Jesus) And he talked with me
And he told me he loved me
(Jesus) When I was at my lowest, he picked me up
(Jesus) And he let me stand, he kept me strong
That's why I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) He delivered me out of my troubles and my trials
(Jesus) Every time, that's why I wanna see
(Jesus) Jesus, oh yeah
And your face will be the first face I wanna see
Oh, praise God, hallelujah
Oh, I get so much joy just thinking about Heaven
I've heard so much about Heaven
I've heard about the walls of jasper and the streets of gold
And I heard about the angels singing all day long
And I can't wait to join that heavenly choir
But you know what I wanna see most of all?
I wanna see Jesus, the man that died for me
There were times when I felt alone, like nobody really loved me
But I'm so glad he was always there to hold my hand
I know just one look at his face will bring eternal joy
(Jesus) That's why I wanna see him
I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) Because his face will wipe out every memory of every trial
(Jesus) Oh yeah, oh yeah
And your face will be the first face I wanna see
You are there when I am lonely
You are there when I need a friend
I take comfort in your word when I get weary
And I know you'll be there 'til the end
When it's all said and done
And my race has been run
That's when your face
Will be the first face I wanna see, oh yes
You are there when I have no one to talk to
All my friends get just a little bit too busy for me
I don't care (I don't care) about the things I suffer
Down here in this earth
They really, they really, they don't bother me
But soon I'll be forever in your presence
I know you'll be there just waiting for me
And your face will be the first face I wanna see, oh yeah
I wanna see
(Jesus) You suffered and died for me
(Jesus) Oh, you freed me from myself
I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) Sometime when I was confused, you brought me out of darkness
(Jesus) Oh yeah, you walk with me
(Jesus) And he talked with me
And he told me he loved me
(Jesus) When I was at my lowest, he picked me up
(Jesus) And he let me stand, he kept me strong
That's why I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) He delivered me out of my troubles and my trials
(Jesus) Every time, that's why I wanna see
(Jesus) Jesus, oh yeah
And your face will be the first face I wanna see
Oh, praise God, hallelujah
Oh, I get so much joy just thinking about Heaven
I've heard so much about Heaven
I've heard about the walls of jasper and the streets of gold
And I heard about the angels singing all day long
And I can't wait to join that heavenly choir
But you know what I wanna see most of all?
I wanna see Jesus, the man that died for me
There were times when I felt alone, like nobody really loved me
But I'm so glad he was always there to hold my hand
I know just one look at his face will bring eternal joy
(Jesus) That's why I wanna see him
I wanna see Jesus
(Jesus) Because his face will wipe out every memory of every trial
(Jesus) Oh yeah, oh yeah
And your face will be the first face I wanna see
