Lyrics
Longing for the day when
This fog will finally lift
Longing for the moment
When this struggle all makes sense
For now I'm believing
Someday I will see it
All Your promises fulfilled
Holy Holy God of glory
Worthy of all praise
Clothed in splendor
Full of wonder
Waiting for the day
When I see Your face
I see Your face
I am welcomed to the table
Of a savior set by grace
I will rest in my belonging
To the one who knows my name
Today I am believing and I'm gonna see it
All Your promises fulfilled
Holy Holy God of glory
Worthy of all praise
Clothed in splendor
Full of wonder
Waiting for the day
When I see Your face
I see Your face
No more sorrow, no more hurting
I will be whole when I see You face to face
No more limits, no more distance
I'll be home, when I see You face to face

Meaning & Inspiration
“See Your Face” gives language to hope held during confusion, pain, and delay. The opening acknowledges that present struggles do not yet make sense, but it places that uncertainty beside confidence in God’s promises. Worship becomes an act of waiting: God is called holy, glorious, and worthy before the hoped-for resolution arrives. The image of being welcomed at a table by grace also presents belonging as a gift from the Savior rather than an achievement.
The final section looks toward complete restoration in God’s presence, where sorrow, hurt, distance, and limitation are gone. That hope closely reflects Revelation’s vision of God dwelling with his people and wiping away every tear. The longing to see God face to face also resembles Paul’s contrast between partial sight now and fuller knowledge to come. By joining honest struggle with promised wholeness, the song sustains a reverent expectation: present suffering is real, yet it does not have the final word over those known and welcomed by God.
