Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

There are a couple of new things at Songs of Praise:

First, let me tell you about the "Light of Gospel" ministry in the
Ukraine.  I have been conversing with Victor Zhuromsky by email for
several months.  His organization is working hard to create a
Russian/Greek lexicon that can be used by Christians in the former Soviet
Union.  Please read about this project and consider helping them complete
it:

Also, this week we have added a beautiful new praise song called "Face To
Face".  This song was started by Russell Adams.  You may remember him from
our Easter play.  I composed the music and created the midi file.
Russell, Larry and I wrote the lyrics.  You can hear the song at:

It will be a few days (maybe weeks) until we can get the music score
ready.  It's tax season and I am also in the middle of a huge project at
work.  Thank you for your patience.

Here are the lyrics to "Face To Face"

(Verse 1)
Just to see You, my Lord, face to face,
And to thank You for all of Your mercy and grace.
I will walk by Your side
On those streets made of gold,
In the glory and the light of Your face!

(Chorus)
Face to face I will be with You in glory
Where the day shines eternal in Your Light.
Lord, my joy will be complete
When I bow there at Your feet,
In Your presence forever to abide.

(Verse 2)
Just to hear You, dear Lord, call my name,
And to know I can stand before You without shame.
I will lay at Your feet
Everything I call mine,
For the honor to be known by Your Name!

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)
May the world see Your face every day
In my heart, in my life, in the words that I say.
Speak to me, I will hear
Let me know you are near,
Through your love in your grace I will stay.

(Repeat Chorus 2 times)

(Ending)
Face to face.
