Show Me Your Face
Steffany Gretzinger's song 'Show Me Your Face' is a worship ballad that draws on biblical imagery of Moses encountering God on Mount Sinai and David's longing for deeper intimacy. The lyrics express a heartfelt plea to see God's face, reflecting a desire for His presence, power, and grace to sustain the believer through life's journey. The song connects Old Testament accounts of God's glory with the New Testament invitation to boldly approach Him through Christ. It emphasizes that enduring faith and perseverance come from seeking God's face, not just His works.
Moses stood on a mountain
Waiting for You to pass by
You put Your hand over His face
So in Your presence, he wouldn't die
And all of Israel saw the glory
And it shines down through the age
Now You've called me to boldly seek Your face
Show me Your face, Lord
Show me Your face
And then gird up my legs that I might stand in this holy place
Show me Your face, Lord
Your power and Your grace
(Your power and grace)
I will make it to the end if I can just see Your face
David knew there was something more
Than the ark of Your presence
In a manger Messiah was born
Among kings and peasants
And all of Israel saw the glory
And it shined down through the age
Now You've called us to boldly seek Your face
Show me Your face, Lord
Show me Your face
And then gird up my legs that I might stand in this holy place
Show me Your face, Lord
Your power and Your grace
(Your power and grace)
I will make it to the end if I can just see Your face
I know I will make it to the end if I can just see Your face
