Heaven is the Face

Here lately I have been hearing the song "Heaven is the Face" by Steven Curtis Chapman.  The song was written about his adopted Chinese daughter Maria that he lost.    The song brings tears to my eyes and makes me think of our daughter-to-be.  I dream of her dark brown eyes and smile, reading her books, and rocking her to sleep.  I so long to have her with us now.    Below are the lyrics.    Heaven is the Face    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." Chorus: 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 God, you know, I just can't see beyond the door. Bridge: 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. 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'm trusting You until I see Heaven in the face of my little girl, Heaven in the face of my little girl.
