[Verse 1]
When I lay this body down
All these questions crowd my mind
Will the dark feel like a doorway
Or just the drop of time
Will I see the face that saved me
Or an endless
Empty sky
Will a hand reach out to hold me
When I close my eyes
[Chorus]
When I die
Will I see the face of my Savior
Will the one who carried all my shame
Call my name
Call my name
When I cross that boundary
Through that river
Will the ones I’m aching for be there
Will I see your face
Will I see your face
[Verse 2]
There’s a room with toys still waiting
Dust on pictures
Framed in gold
I still set a place at dinner
For a boy who never grows
And I talk like he can hear me
In the quiet of this place
Will he run to me in laughter
When I reach that day
[Chorus]
When I die
Will I see the face of my Savior
Will the one who carried all my shame
Call my name
Call my name
When I cross that boundary
Through that river
Will my son be smiling at the gate
Will I see his face
Will I see his face
[Bridge]
Will my friend be standing right beside him
All the stories we left half untold
Will the grief I’ve worn like heavy armor
Fall away
Fall away like clothes
[Chorus]
When I die
Will I see the face of my Savior
Will the one who never let me go
Lead me home
Lead me home
When I cross that boundary
Through that river
All the ones I’ve lost in Your embrace
Will I see their face
When I see Your face
