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."

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 orphan's 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.
Heaven in the face of my little girl.

One Boy, One Girl

He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend,
When she said, "There's someone you should meet."
At a crowded restaurant way cross town,
He waited impatiently.
When she walked in, their eyes met,
And they both stared.
Right there and then,
Everyone else disappeared,

But one boy, one girl,
Two hearts beating wildly.
To put it mildly, it was love at first sight.
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away:
This was the day they'd been waiting for all their lives.
For a moment, the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl.

In no time at all, they were standing there
In the front of a little church.
Among their friends and family,
Repeating those sacred words.
The preacher said, "Son, kiss your bride."
And he raised her veil.
Like the night they met,
Time just stood still, for

Chorus

He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned.
"Congratulations, twins."
