Thank you Lord that you were the one man who met with God face-to-face. And now as You dwelling in us we too can meet with God face-to-face. Hallelujah for the first born son who opened for us the way to the Father. This is a new song but I have worshipped with it many times already. The Lord touches my spirit every time I sing it.
