Heaven 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 sing
|
And 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
|
And 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 filled
|
And there’s no one left in the orphans’ bed
|
Every lonely heart finds the one true love
|
And there’s no more goodbye
|
And no more “not enough”
|
And there’s no more enemy (no more)
|
|
Heaven 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 You
|
And we both run into Your arms
|
|
Oh 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’ll trust in You until I see
|
|
Heaven in the face of my little girl
