We Soon Shall See His Face Poem by Gary James Smith

WE SOON SHALL SEE HIS FACE

The heavens are the gates of praise
Where God enjoys His Son
Where angel hosts proclaim as well
Praise Thrice Holy One!

God's guaranteed approval
Upon our blessed Lord's deed
He that believeth on His Son
Shall be free indeed!

That precious blood of Jesus
Who in the sinner’s stead
Washed, cleansed, by His Word
Who’s risen from the dead!

Now rising up on eagles wings
We take our blessed flight
And soar to realms of glory
From darkness into light!

Spirit that’s within us
He give, praises too
Giving witness to our lives
That knows us though and through.

And prayer, our Sanctuary
We’re worshippers at heart
Knowing we have been forgiven
Forgiveness we impart!

Depths of gratitudal thanks
We give it to our Lord
Upon awakening each day
Which our Good God affords!

Flee from us, you inner thoughts
That think, to praise, dismiss
But praises to our Highest Lord
Who gives continual bliss!

Shallow are the dregs of sin
That satan has to offer
When compared with Jesus Christ
Who fills our worship coffers!

“That Mighty Fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing”
Who breaks the power of cancelled sin
That had our spirits wailing!

Now amidst that heavenly host
And all that dwells on earth
Testimonials of True Resurrection
For those of second birth!

When nighttime comes upon us
Considering where we’ve been
We trust the handiwork of God
In us, redeemed from sin!

The heavens declare the glory of God
His handiwork, the firmament showeth
Tis His own He giveth more grace
No unbeliever’s knowth!

Surrounding us are demons
Whose evil ways never cease
But God gives blessed victory
Because He is our Peace!

Peace that passeth understanding
We marvel in His grace
Blessed with His comforting Words
We soon shall see His Face!
