If I Could Touch the Face of God

If I could touch the face of God,
I’d plant a tender kiss.
I’d wrap my arms around His neck
In such a sweet embrace.

I’d whisper in His ear
The words of love my heart cannot contain.

Oh …

If I could reach
To kiss the face of God.

  1. And He is within our reach, limited as it may be; for He promised: “Lo, I am withj you always.”
    GOD IS LOVE a song (C) 2010
    by Max C. Hanson
    Not Muscle , hair, blood, skin,

    1. GOD IS LOVE (cont’d)
      Bone nor DNA
      Defines he image
      Of our God;
      For unlimited Love, so
      Free and un-earned
      Is the real and true
      Image of God.
      REFRAIN:
      His Love Is The Image
      In which we are made —
      To inherit and
      To Bequest;
      Our physical bodies
      Are mere tools we use
      To Share That Great
      Love with the rest.

      That Great Love bonds all of
      God’s Children as one,
      Each of us His
      Daughter or Son.
      We mirror His Love in our
      Family care;
      Good things in life
      With each we share.
      REFRAIN (as above)

      This song was written for my niece who was adopted by my sister and her husband as a new-born. Her birth parents were Afrcan-American. She bgrew up and married a fine young man of similar parentage. When they brought their three young children to our 2010 Hanson Family Reunion here, in Southern Illinois,my niece was having difficulty how they fit into the heritage of a white family — how they were part of the Hansons. My sister asked If I could write a poem to help explain it. This song is the result.

Hey, don't you dare go away without leaving me a note!
