1
He ate the bread of heaven
2
Drank water from the rock
3
And the grumbling children followed
4
Like a misbegotten flock
5
He climbed up on a mountain
6
They couldn't even touch
7
Who'd have known that one encounter
8
Could have ever meant so much
9
And up upon that high place
10
In a cleft of solid stone
11
His face was set on fire
12
As the God of Glory shone
13
He alone had seen it
14
And had lived to tell the tale
15
But because they feared the fire
16
He had to hide behind a veil
17
A face that shone with the radiance of the Father
18
Though it had known and endured dark desert days
19
A face that shone with the glory of Another
20
So the prophet would discover
21
As the glory was fading away
22
He was the Bread from Heaven
23
He would be the smitten Rock
24
He had twelve confused disciples
25
They were his bewildered flock
26
When he climbed upon the mountain
27
He took Peter, James and John
28
In the face of pending glory
29
They soon began to yawn
30
As he prayed while they were sleeping
31
He was transfigured into Light
32
His face a flash of lightning
33
His clothes so burning bright
34
So Moses finally saw the face
35
Before he'd hidden from
36
Then came a voice from heaven
37
This is my beloved Son
38
The face that shone is the Glory of the Father
39
And he had known from the start that it was so
40
The face that shone had let the light shine out of darkness
41
And we're changed into His likeness
42
As we gaze upon the Son
43
But you and me we tend to flee from shining faces
44
We see the glow and then we know that we're undone
45
They shine His light into out emptiest of spaces
46
With their bright and shining faces
47
Reflect the radiance of the Son
48
The face that shone is the Glory of the Father
49
And he had known from the start that it was so
50
The face that shone had let the light shine out of darkness
51
And we're changed into His likeness
52
As we gaze upon the Son
