This is a live performance requested by my mom-in-law at the funeral of my wife's dad, Jim Donald, in November, 1998.
Singer/Songrwriter in the Charlotte area
Story behind the song
Wrote the song in 1989 for a cassette album Linda and I recorded in 1989. Based on 1 Corinthians 13:12:
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Lyrics
For so many years I've waited for that moment
And I know that it will surely come to pass
But for now I have to be content
To view his image through a darkened glass
Chorus:
Face to face
I'm gonna see him face to face
As I enter into that glorious place
Face to face my Lord I'll see
Face to Face
I'm gonna meet him face to face
His holy name I'm gonna praise
Throughout eternity
But so many times I've let him down completely
Still I'm trusting in his mercy to forgive
Even though I don't deserve his love
Forever in his presence I will live
Forever with him
I'll stand before him
The Lord of glory
(Repeat Chorus)
