Face to Face

Jesus Christ our Eucharistic Savior
We have come into this holy place
To worship You in sacramental presence
Lord we want to see You face to face

Lord we long to be beholding You
In the beauty of the old and new
Adoring You in loving gratitude

We await anticipate
With open hearts and expectant faith
Your Eucharistic Presence in this place
Lord we want to see You face to face

Jesus You're the Splendor of the Father
Jesus You're the Fruit of Mary's womb
Jesus You're the Sender of the Spirit
Let Your holy presence fill this room

There is nothing that I'd rather do
Than fall upon my knees before You
And meditate upon Your perfect love
My heart cries out to You
Come Lord Jesus .
