Face To Face
Darlene Zschech Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Till I see You face to face this remains my hiding place
Where I listen as You gently speak to me
In this safety I will dwell, every season I will tell
Of the beauty and the glory of Your presence

Lord I know You're here
Lord I know You're here
As I seek You, You will find me
As I seek You, You will find me
As You draw me to yourself
As You draw me to yourself

For this peace I had the bounce in this joy, it fills my soul
There is nothing that compares to You my God
And I know You're here, yes, I know You're here

As I seek You, You will find me
As I seek You, You will find me
As You draw me to yourself
As You draw me to yourself

You're my friend here, Holy Spirit
Speak to me dear, Holy Spirit
Tenderness that makes me hold every breath
And to need You more

My searching heart was seeking for a place to find the home
And though the baddest toils I ask You in
You Love me in to life and more this fullness now I know
That I am Yours forever and You are mine
You are mine, You are mine, You are mine

Lord I know that You are here




In Your presence I will dwell
Love will hold me till I see You face to face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Darlene Zschech's song "Face to Face" are an expression of her desire to be fully in the presence of God. The opening line, "Till I see You face to face this remains my hiding place," suggests that Zschech sees her current state as one of hiding from God's full glory until the day she meets him in person. She acknowledges that in this state, she can still hear God speaking to her, and she recognizes the safety and beauty of being in his presence.


The chorus, "As I seek You, You will find me / As You draw me to yourself," reinforces Zschech's belief that God is present and attentive to those who seek him. She describes the peace and joy that come from being close to God and the realization that nothing else compares to him. There is an intimate relationship between Zschech and the Holy Spirit, as she refers to the Spirit as her friend and speaks of his tenderness.


Throughout the song, Zschech emphasizes her desire to be near God and to follow his guidance. The repetition of the line "Lord I know that You are here" communicates her certainty and faith in God's constant presence in her life. Ultimately, she looks forward to the day when she can be with God face-to-face and experience his full love and glory.
