Yes, We Shall Behold Him

Titus 2:13 English Standard Version (ESV)

13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

1 John 3:2 English Standard Version (ESV)

2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears[a] we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

I've lost the details that belong to this image, but I know it's of a little girl waiting for her daddy's arrival.   The mixture of eagerness, joy and sweet relief that crosses her face has me imagining what my own face might look like when I behold my Savior and Lord.  David Phelps sings a new version of the song written by Dottie Rambo, "We Shall Behold Him."

We Shall Behold Him

The sky shall unfold

Preparing His entrance

The stars shall applaud Him

With thunders of praise

The sweet light in His eyes

Shall enhance those awaiting

And we shall behold Him

Then face to face

O, we shall behold Him

We shall behold Him

Face to face in all of His glory

O, we shall behold Him

Yes, we shall behold Him

Face to face, our Savior and Lord

The angel shall sound

The shout of His coming

And the sleeping shall rise

From their slumbering place

And those who remain

Shall be changed in a moment

And we shall behold Him

Then face to face

We shall behold Him

O yes we shall behold Him

Face to face in all of His glory

We shall behold Him

Yes, we shall behold Him

Face to face

Our Savior and Lord

And we shall behold Him

Our Savior and Lord

Savior and Lord
