Blessing (Gaze Upon Your Face)

I know maybe I'm the only one
To look beyond your many years to come
There are many kinds of happiness that pass
But I wish you the only one that lasts
And when all the dust has settled like the snow
And the fireworks have all ceased to glow
May you gaze... upon his face

Many wish you health and wealth and years
But I aspire with every urge and tear
For the goal which can alone fulfill your heart
The home from which it aches to be apart
And when all the dust has settled like these leaves
And you're closing your eyes to all we see
May you gaze... upon his face

And we'll sing
"Whoa! Whoa!
How amazing is your face!"

His heart just burns to give you all that's best
His promise shows us what is means to bless
The good he offers is much more than wished
Cause everything he wants for us is gift
And when all the dust has settled
May your heart break forth with song
May you hold your breath forever
In the joy for which we've longed
As you gaze...

And we'll sing
"Whoa! Whoa!
How amazing is your face!"

While the blessed bow before him
And you stand in wondrous awe
As you gaze upon the beauty
You'd believed but never saw

With impenetrable marvel
In the glorious rising sun
Light that baffles, blesses, ravishes
Transforms and makes us one

And the songs of all the ages
Cannot come near to express
What one feels who stands in wordless wonder
Of his loveliness

Every rhythm melody and tune
Falls short and is replaced
By the silence our loving hearts
That gaze upon Your face
