How I Long To Behold Thy Flawless Face,

Oh, how I long to behold thy flawless face, 
Glorious God, how I long to know you more
Singing, singing thy sweet song… amazing grace

Oh, I would love to be in that priceless place
Thy terrific and eternal treasure store 
Oh, how I long to behold thy flawless face

I don’t want to stay down in this sensual space
Enroll me into the fold where I’ll hail and adore,
Singing, singing thy sweet song… amazing grace

Show me, thy golden glow, glory and grace.
Remove all roadblocks on my way I implore.
How I long to behold thy flawless face.

Help me to run and win this righteous race
Save me from thorns that stings me sore,
Singing, singing thy song… amazing grace

In that gorgeous garment with a lovely lace
In the place you made for those who love your lore
Oh. how I long to behold thy flawless face
Singing, singing thy sweet song… amazing grace
