Verse 1
I’ve heard the best of orators
I’ve learned the finest songs
Sometimes I almost glimpse the land
To which my heart belongs (Phil. 3:20, Heb. 11:13-16)
But just as quickly, glimpses fade away
And leave a deeper longing for that day
Chorus
When clouded glass that shielded eyes (II Cor. 13:12)
Is shattered in my flight
And face to face I view my Prize (Rev. 22:4, I John 3:2)
That day when faith is sight (II Cor. 5:7)
Verse 2
I read the words He left for me
I walk the course He charts (II Cor. 5:7)
Sometimes I almost glimpse His face
Through fellow pilgrim’s hearts (I John 4:12)
But just as quickly, glimpses fade away
And leave a deeper longing for that day
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Each word I speak is heard before His throne (Mal. 3:16, Ps. 139:4)
And yet I long to know as I am known (I Cor. 13:12)
Repeat chorus
