"Heaven is Christ, and Christ is heaven." ~ Victoria Booth Demarest
Face to face with Christ my Savior,
Face to face--what will it be?
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ who died for me.Only faintly now I see Him,
With the darkened veil between,
But a blessed day is coming
When His glory shall be seen.What rejoicing in His presence
When are banished grief and pain,
When the crooked ways are straightened
And the dark things shall be plain.Face to face! O blissful moment!
Face to face--to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loves me so.Refrain:
Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!

think the thing many of us will want to do is to spend eternity just being with
Him and coming to know Him."

Oft times the day seems long, our trials hard to bear,
We're tempted to complain, to murmur and despair;
But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away,
All tears forever over in God's eternal day.Sometimes the sky looks dark with not a ray of light,
We're tossed and driven on, no human help in sight;
But there is One in heaven who knows our deepest care,
Let Jesus solve your problem--just go to Him in prayer.Life's day will soon be o'er, all storms forever past,
We'll cross the great divide to glory, safe at last.
We'll share the joys of heaven--a harp, a home, a crown.
The tempter will be banished, we'll lay our burden down.Refrain:
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race 'til we see Christ

"When He shall appear, we shall be like Him:
for we shall see Him as He is." ~ I John 3:2
