This is the first track of Steven Curtis Chapman's new CD, Beauty Will Rise, and the first single. It has already been played on many radio stations all over the country. It's a sweet song about him cherishing the moments with his daughters, and is one of the more happy songs off the album.

Heaven is the Face
by Steven Curtis Chapman

Heaven is the face
Of a little girl
With dark brown eyes
That disappear when she smiles

And Heaven is the place
Where she calls my name
Says, "Daddy, please
Come play with me for a while"

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 orphan's bed
Every lonely heart finds that one true Love
And there's no more good byes and no more not enoughs
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

And 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
