Michael Card - A Face That Shone Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • He ate the bread of heaven
  • Drank water from the rock
  • And the grumbling children followed
  • Like a misbegotten flock
  • He climbed up on a mountain
  • They couldn't even touch
  • Who'd have known that one encounter
  • Could have ever meant so much
  • And up upon that high place
  • In a cleft of solid stone
  • His face was set on fire
  • As the God of Glory shone
  • He alone had seen it
  • And had lived to tell the tale
  • But because they feared the fire
  • He had to hide behind a veil
  • A face that shone with the radiance of the Father
  • Though it had known and endured dark desert days
  • A face that shone with the glory of Another
  • So the prophet would discover
  • As the glory was fading away
  • He was the Bread from Heaven
  • He would be the smitten Rock
  • He had twelve confused disciples
  • They were his bewildered flock
  • When he climbed upon the mountain
  • He took Peter, James and John
  • In the face of pending glory
  • They soon began to yawn
  • As he prayed while they were sleeping
  • He was transfigured into Light
  • His face a flash of lightning
  • His clothes so burning bright
  • So Moses finally saw the face
  • Before he'd hidden from
  • Then came a voice from heaven
  • This is my beloved Son
  • The face that shone is the Glory of the Father
  • And he had known from the start that it was so
  • The face that shone had let the light shine out of darkness
  • And we're changed into His likeness
  • As we gaze upon the Son
  • But you and me we tend to flee from shining faces
  • We see the glow and then we know that we're undone
  • They shine His light into out emptiest of spaces
  • With their bright and shining faces
  • Reflect the radiance of the Son
  • The face that shone is the Glory of the Father
  • And he had known from the start that it was so
  • The face that shone had let the light shine out of darkness
  • And we're changed into His likeness
  • As we gaze upon the Son
