Face to Face

My daily trials surround me
and my pain gets hard to bear
But I know that God is with me
and all the pain He'll share

I sometimes get discouraged
I often break down and cry
I wonder if it's my time
to give up the ghost and die

The fears of death entomb me
and my heart begins to race
Then out of nowhere
I see my Savior's face

I hear my Lord saying
“When you are afraid, trust in Me”
I smile as I reply to Him
“I'll always trust in Thee”

A calmness slowly drifts over
and a peace flows inside
Then I think back and realize
for me Jesus died

I know where I have been in life
and I know I'll one day be gone
But I know He will be there waiting
I'll never be alone

So if God takes me to my mansion
He has built for me on that hill
Please don't cry or worry
I'll be praising Jesus, that's His will

When death has come to claim me
he is really in second place
When that moment comes
I'll meet Jesus face to face
