Steven Curtis Chapman – Heaven Is The Face Lyrics
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 (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.

  1. Wow! That is powerful stuff. Thanks for posting this. As I was watching these videos, I kept thinking to myself, "God is surrounded by such glory and splendor [He's the source of it]. But in the midst of all of that, the God's joy is in us, and the joy and longing Steve has for His daughter is a beautiful and strikingly accurate picture of Daddy's love for us." It's a beautiful thing. Praise Jesus!!!

  2. Yesterday morning, I was laying in my bedroom, my radio playing. I'd just woken up, and this song came on the radio. As I listened, I started to cry. I was crying because I imagined my own daddy singing that to me, because I myself have dark brown eyes. I'm only 12, but that doesn't mean that I'm not able to see the glory of God. Thank you, Steven Curtis Chapman!
