THE FIRST FACE I SEE (Official Lyric Video) | A Christian Song About Heaven & Reunion

“THE FIRST FACE I SEE” (Official Lyric Video) — a Christian Love Revolution song about missing someone you love deeply and imagining the moment you finally see their face again in heaven. THE FIRST FACE I SEE — I HOPE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU There are people we lose who never really leave us. We still remember the way they said our name. Their laugh. Their eyes. Their voice. The way it felt just to be near them. Life keeps moving, and somehow we learn to carry the missing. But sometimes we wonder about the day when this life is over. Who will we look for? What will it feel like to hear that familiar voice again? Will they recognize us from across heaven? Will we run toward each other? And after all the years of missing them, will we even be able to speak—or will we simply fall into their arms and cry? “THE FIRST FACE I SEE” is a song about that hope. It doesn't name the person. Because everyone has a different face in mind. A husband. A wife. A mom or dad. A brother or sister. A child. A grandparent. A friend. Someone deeply loved. Someone deeply missed. And maybe one of the beautiful things about heaven will be realizing: I don't have to let you go again.

I still hear your laughter in my mind, And every now and then it takes me back in time. I’ve learned to carry missing you somehow, And love the life that’s still in front of me now. But there’s a hope I hold where no one sees— I think I know the first face I’ll want to see. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know what heaven will be like, Or how we’ll find each other there. But if I get to choose one moment, I hope I see you waiting somewhere. [Chorus] The first face I see, I hope it looks like you. That smile I’ve missed, Those eyes I still remember too. And all these years between us Will disappear somehow. I’ll fall into your arms And let every tear come out. When I finally reach that distant shore, I won’t have to miss you anymore. Every road I’ve walked will lead to you, And I’ll know my heart has made it through. [Verse 2] I wonder if you’ll look the way I knew, Or somehow more alive, somehow more you. Will I hear your voice before I see your eyes? Will you come running when you recognize mine? I’ve pictured it a thousand different ways, But nothing could prepare me for that day. I won’t need words, I won’t need to understand, Just you and me and your familiar hand. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know what heaven will be like, Or how we’ll find each other there. But if I get to choose one moment, I hope I see you waiting somewhere. [Chorus] The first face I see, I hope it looks like you. That smile I’ve missed, Those eyes I still remember too. And all these years between us Will disappear somehow. I’ll fall into your arms And let every tear come out. No more wishing for one more day, No more watching time take you away. If heaven lets me choose where I’ll first be, I hope you’re the first face I see. [Bridge] Maybe I’ll try to say I missed you, But the words won’t make it through. Maybe all I’ll do is hold you Like I’ve always wanted to. And every tear I held inside, Every time I said goodbye, Every empty place you left in me Will finally come alive. I won’t have to let you go. I won’t have to let you go. [Final Chorus] The first face I see, I hope it looks like you. That smile I’ve carried all these years Will finally come into view. And I know I’ll start crying Before I even reach your arms. All the missing, all the longing, Gone the moment that we touch. No more wishing for one more day, No more watching time take you away. Forever starts where goodbye used to be— When you’re the first face I see. [Outro] I’ve still got love to give down here, Still got reasons to stay near. But when my time comes peacefully… I know the face I hope to see. CREDITS Song & lyrics: John Harrity Visuals: Heavenly reunion lyric-video imagery © 2026 John Harrity. All rights reserved.
