Notes About The Poem

Ever since I have come to the know the Savior
Jesus Christ, I have wanted to see Him face to
face.  I have seen Him a couple of times but,
to be with HIM is a very strong desire.
God bless.

That I May See Jesus

That I May See Jesus

Quietly I waited after singing to Him
hymns of worship and praise
sitting somewhat patiently
and longing to see His sweet face.

Yes the more I have gotten to know Him
The more no one else will ever do
no none can satisfy the longing in my heart Lord
no, no one Lord but you.

Oh I know You are surely present 
when we gather in Your name
because Your Word declares when two or more are gathered
Your presence with us we will gain.

But my heart Lord how it is yearning
for Your touch and sweet caress
so I am sitting here and waiting while my tears
are falling down the front of my new dress.

Please hear my cry sweet Jesus
my Lord how long now do I have to wait
for my eyes do long to see Your face
yet I know my patience to will seal my fate.

But this time Lord no matter how long the wait
Your face I will finally see
and I know because I love You so
You’ll be smiling back at me.
