Before His Face

Every secret thought, He has searched it Each unspoken word, He has known it With Him the darkness is like the day Tremble in the light of His presence Years we spent in deep self-indulgence Heedless of His gaze set upon us But out of darkness He called us home To dwell within the light of His goodness So let us not be lured by lesser loves But hunger for the smile of God above Forsaking worthless ways We live our days before His face Ev'n if all the world should approve us Or in their judgment, rail and condemn us To God we answer, to Him alone Forever in the light of His presence Every breath, a gift for His worship Every pow'r, a tool for His service Let all within us unite in love Flourish in the light of His goodness And let us not be lured by lesser loves But hunger for the smile of God above Forsaking worthless ways We live our days before His face O let us not be lured by lesser loves But hunger for the smile of God above Forsaking worthless ways We live our days before His face With all our heart Our soul, our mind Our strength, our God Ever, only, all for You With all our heart Our soul, our mind Our strength, our God Ever, only, all for You And let us not be lured by lesser loves But hunger for the smile of God above Forsaking worthless ways We live our days before His face
