Face to Face Lyrics by Zach Williams
Verse 1
Oh, I’m a traveler far from home
I get lost but I press on
There’s a mansion in streets of gold
Where I belong
Verse 2
Yes, there’s a day coming soon
Where the old will be made new
And Heaven’s glory shines like the morning
Before our eyes
Chorus
When we all see Jesus
When we all see Jesus
No more sickness, no more madness, no more pain
When we all see Jesus face to face
Verse 3
Then we will sing with angel voices
There will be a great rejoicing
Holy holy, worthy worthy
Is the Lamb, oh
Chorus
When we all see Jesus
Yes, when we all see Jesus
No more sickness, no more madness, no more pain
When we all see Jesus face to face
Yeah, when we all see Jesus face to face
