Yesterday, I got a chance to hear Steven Curtis Chapman’s new song “Heaven Is The Face” from his new “Beauty Will Rise” project. It will be in stores and on digital download sites November 3rd. This is a beautiful song that was obviously birthed out of their personal family tragedy with the loss of their daughter Maria.
In the face of all his personal pain and heartache Steven’s new song paints a beautiful picture of what Heaven must look like with Maria in it. I would normally share the audio or video with you, but I signed a waiver stating that I wouldn’t and I will honor that agreement. However, I did want to share the lyrics of this new song with you. If you or someone you know has been held down by the burden of losing a loved one please read and then share his lyrics to this new song with them. The song should be hitting the airwaves in a few weeks.
“Heaven Is The Face” by Steven Curtis Chapman:
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 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 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 (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’m trusting You until I see Heaven in the face of my little girl
