Lyrics
I darkened the chapel door
and knelt on the concrete floor
and I cried out I cried out in my pain
I saw a sign that read:
"He's risen from the dead"
was there hope this life scarred with shame?
I said a simple prayer
I asked if you're really there.
Could I see the joy
Could I see the peace
Could I see a heart overflowing with love
Could I see the hope. Could I see the goodness
Could I see the face. The face of God
An old woman came to me
she saw my despondency.
And she inquired "child what can I do for you."
I told her I've lost it all
I said "I hit the wall"
Then her eyes caught mine and asked "what do you seek."
I looked at her and hope began to build
She smiled and said "your life can be fulfilled"
Then I saw the joy. I saw the peace
I saw a heart overflowing with love.
I saw the hope. I saw the goodness
I saw the face. The face of God
Bridge:
That countenance was shining like the sun
I saw a life that reflected the One
the One who showed the beauty of His face
