Heaven is the face of a little girl

With dark brown eyes

That disappear when she smiles

Heaven is the place

Where she calls my name

Says

"Daddy please come play with me for awhile"

God

I know

It's all of this and so much more

But God

You know

That this is what I'm aching for

God

you know

I just can't see beyond the door

So right now

Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep

Lying on my chest

Falling fast asleep while I sing

And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms

Being there to keep her safe from harm

while she dreams

And God

I know

It's all of this and so much more

But God

You know

That this is what I'm longing for

God

you know

I just can't see beyond the door

But in my mind's eye I can see a place

Where Your glory fills every empty space

All the cancer is gone

Every mouth is fed

And there's no one left in the orphans' bed

Every lonely heart finds their one true love

And there's no more goodbye

And no more not enough

And there's no more enemy

(No more)

Heaven is a sweet

maple syrup kiss

And a thousand other little things

I miss with her gone

Heaven is the place where she takes my hand

And leads me to You

And we both run into Your arms

Oh God

I know

It's so much more than I can dream

It's far beyond anything I can conceive

So God

You know

I'm trusting You until I see

Heaven in the face of my little girl

Heaven in the face of my little girl
