Face to Face

Isaiah saw a heavenly scene
Countless seraphim flying
Faces covered with their wings
Too scared to see the King of kings

You're so different from high angels
All my good deeds now seem evil
Power beyond what I could see
Worse than facing death - woe is me

The angels scream
Smoke fills the air
The earth's shaking
God Almighty is there

If I could see You face to face
Terrified that You're holy
Overwhelmed by Your glory
I feel like poison in this place
Yet You died instead of me
I'm a wretch but you love me
And now all I can say
 is "Send me."

Can I let go of my status quo?
All I've dreamed of, worked for, all I know?
Will I water it down so that I can belong?
And enjoy my things as I've done all along?

But I'll see Your glory all around
And I'll bury my face in the ground
How useless are these worldly games
Such a waste - all that's left is shame

Help me see
How ugly
My ways are to You
How nauseous
How dangerous
For this evil man before You

And when I see You face to face

Terrified that You're holy

Overwhelmed by Your glory

I feel like poison in this place

Yet You died instead of me

I'm a wretch but you love me
And now all I can say
 is "Send me."

Prone to forget that You're everything to me

Tasted that You're good, yet it's still so hard to see
Although it's better than before
My soul still longs to know You even more

Wish I could see You face to face

Terrified that You're holy

Overwhelmed by Your glory

I feel like poison in this place

Yet You died instead of me

I'm a wretch but you love me
And now all I can say
 is "Send me."
