Verse 1:
C5
Heaven is the face of a little girl 
C5                                            F5
With dark brown eyes that disappear when she smiles. 
C5
Heaven is the place where she calls my name 
C5                                         F5
Says, Daddy please come play with me for awhile. 

Chorus: 
G5                F5               C5
God, I know, its all of this and so much more, 
    G5                   F5               C5
But God, You know, that this is what Im aching for. 
G5                F5                C5
God, you know, I just can?t see beyond the door. 
C5
So right now... 

Verse 2:
C5
Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep, 
C5                                              F5
Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing. 
C5
And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms, 
C5                                                F5
Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams 

Chorus:
    G5                 F5               C5
And God, I know, it?s all of this and so much more, 
    G5                   F5               C5
But God, You know, that this is what Im longing for 
G5                F5                C5
God, you know, I just can?t see beyond the door. 

Bridge: 
C5
But in my minds eye I can see a place 
           F5
Where Your glory fills every empty space. 
        G5
All the cancer is gone, Every mouth is fed, 
            C5
And there?s no one left in the orphans bed. 
      F5
Every lonely heart finds their one true love, 
           G5
And theres no more goodbye, And no more not enough, 
           C5       F5
And theres no more enemy (no more). 

Verse 3:
C5
Heaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss 
C5                                                  F5
And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone. 
C5
Heaven is the place where she takes my hand 
C5                                              F5
And leads me to You, And we both run into Your arms. 

Outro:
   G5                F5                 C5
Oh God, I know, its so much more than I can dream. 
     G5          F5          C5
It?s far beyond anything I can conceive. 
   G5                 F5              C5
So God, You know, Im trusting You until I see 
C5
Heaven in the face of my little girl, 
C5
Heaven in the face of my little girl.
