let me see your face, god

Singer:cory asbury

simple men are simply drawn to simplicity

my simple mind has come to find that i'm drawn to infinity

breaking the barriers and barricades only to see your face

my eyes have caught a glimpse and i just can't turn away

i'm drawn to the flame

drawn to the fire

drawn to the one whose eyes burn with desire

i've burned all my bridges

god

i've counted the cost

so shine your light until i'm blind to this world and its lies

so the windows of my soul are purified just like your bride: spotless and white

no blemish in sight

offering my life as a holy sacrifice

i need you

christ

to ascend that holy hill

so give me clean hands

a pure heart

the knowledge of your will

as the war rolls on and the battle rages here i take my stand

'cause i know one day i'll stand before you in the holy land

let me see your face

god

i'm crying out for you

open up my eyes to see your beauty

god

whoa

whoa

i wanna see you in your splendor

behold you in your glory

gaze upon the beauty that burns bright before me

there's not a god whose eyes flicker with flames of jealousy

whose desire is towards me

never ignores me

i've been awakened to love and can't move my gaze

though the floods roll my way and the waters

they rage

your love cannot be quenched

hindered or encaged

you're the lion and the lamb

fully god

fully man

my eyes have been enlightened with these words that i've been told

you become what you behold

holy spirit

take control

when my flesh is weak

your face i'll seek until my heart is yours

show me the hope of your calling

who i am in you

my lord

cover the earth with your glory like the waters to the seas

you've ravished my heart

it's only you i see

it's only in you that i'm free

come and liberate me

one thing i have desired and it's you alone i seek

let me see your face

god

i'm crying out for you

open up my eyes to see your beauty

god

whoa

whoa

whoa

whoa whoa

whoa whoa

whoa

blessed are the pure in heart that fight the good fight

who leave it all behind to lay ahold of the prize

eagerly awaiting the return of the christ

it's all we're longing for

we're waiting for

the spirit and the bride to say come"
