《A Face That Shone》歌词

[00:00:00] A Face That Shone - Michael Card

[00:00:05] He ate the bread of heaven

[00:00:08] Drank water from the rock

[00:00:10] And the grumbling children followed

[00:00:13] Like a misbegotten flock

[00:00:16] He climbed up on a mountain

[00:00:18] They couldn't even touch

[00:00:21] Who'd have known that one encounter

[00:00:24] Could have ever meant so much

[00:00:28] And up upon that high place

[00:00:30] In a cleft of solid stone

[00:00:33] His face was set on fire

[00:00:35] As the God of glory shone

[00:00:38] He alone had seen it

[00:00:41] And had lived to tell the tale

[00:00:43] But because they feared the fire

[00:00:45] He had to hide behind a veil

[00:00:49] A face that shone with the radiance of the father

[00:00:55] Though it had known and endured dark desert days

[00:01:00] A face that shone with the glory of another

[00:01:05] So the prophet would discover

[00:01:08] As the glory was fading away

[00:01:16] He was the bread from heaven

[00:01:19] He would be the smitten rock

[00:01:21] He had twelve confused disciples

[00:01:24] They were his bewildered flock

[00:01:27] When he climbed upon the mountain

[00:01:29] He took Peter James and John

[00:01:32] In the face of pending glory

[00:01:35] They soon began to yawn

[00:01:39] As he prayed while they were sleeping

[00:01:41] He was transfigured into light

[00:01:44] His face a flash of lightning

[00:01:47] His clothes so burning bright

[00:01:49] So moses finally saw the face

[00:01:52] Before he'd hidden from

[00:01:55] Then came a voice from heaven

[00:01:57] This is my beloved son

[00:02:01] The face that shone is the glory of the father

[00:02:06] And he had known from the start that it was

[00:02:10] So

[00:02:11] The face that shone had let the light shine out

[00:02:14] Of darkness

[00:02:17] And we're changed into his likeness

[00:02:21] As we gaze upon the son

[00:02:23] But you and me we tend to flee from shining

[00:02:27] Faces

[00:02:29] We see the glow and then we know

[00:02:31] That we're

[00:02:32] Undone

[00:02:34] They shine his light into out emptiest of spaces

[00:02:39] With their bright and shining faces

[00:02:43] Reflect the radiance of the son

[00:02:46] The face that shone is the glory of the father

[00:02:51] And he had known from the start that it was

[00:02:54] So

[00:02:56] The face that shone had let the light shine out

[00:02:59] Of darkness

[00:03:02] And we're changed into his likeness

[00:03:06] As we gaze upon the son
